Add to SetSummary
Few places seemed more romantic than the American West to tourists at the turn of the 20th century. Many headed westward, seeking the untamed beauty and vast open spaces that epitomized opportunity, individuality, and what it meant to be American. Here, passengers view the natural landscape from inside or atop a sightseeing carriage on its way to Arizona's Grand Canyon.
