Canyon of the Gunnison River, Colorado, as seen along the route of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad, including rock formations and waterfalls. The photographer is not credited,
however photographs in similar booklets by the same publisher have been identified as the
work of Denver photographer Alex Martin (1841-1929).

finding aid derived from a collection file.
