Of the canyons that break the eastern edge of the Staked Plains, Palo Duro is by far the most spectacular. This title includes seven essays devoted to geology, archeology, paleontology, vegetation, park development, and the amphitheater, and its road log from Canyon, Texas, through the Palo Duro State Park.

The Texas Panhandleits eastern edge descending sharply from the plains into the canyons of Palo Duro, Tule, Quitaque, Casa Blanca, and Yellow House is as rich in history as it is in natural beauty. This work contributes to the historiography of the American West, focusing on the Texas Panhandle.
