Synopsis:

With its vast vistas, splendid sunsets, and rich history, the American Southwest has always inspired superb writing. Travelers Tales Southwest features a selection of some of the best. Tony Hillerman explores the wonders of Canyon de Chelly, while Douglas Preston takes the reader on a poignant journey into the land of the Hopi.
