Photography Pioneers: Kolb Brothers, Grand Canyon Photo Sessions Between Heaven and Hell

Drudge: Timber was scarce in the Grand Canyon. When the pioneers wanted to build a cabin in the valley, they had to transport the wood on mules down from the top of the canyon, just as farmer William Bass did in this photo of the Kolb brothers around 1906. In a similar manner Emery carried the components for his darkroom in the Indian Garden. | Grand Canyon National Park / Kolb Brothers
