• -  American Memory 1880-1881 Report Note: Official scientific surveys of the West in the generation following the Civil War sometimes produced works of enduring literary and artistic as well as scientific merit. Clarence Dutton's beautifully-illustrated report on the Grand Canyon district is one such work. As immediate as an explorer's journal, at once empirically precise and aesthetically sensitive, Dutton's account is a model piece of scientific writing for an unspecialized audience, and its delicately evocative descriptions defined this extraordinary region's identity in the American imagination for the generations to come. Like his contemporaries Frederick Law Olmsted and John C. Van Dyke, moreover, Dutton probed the mystery of the encounter between human perception and great natural beauty as assiduously as he sought to trace geological history in the rock formations of the canyon country. His writing here therefore illuminates both the power of scientific imagination and the power of aesthetic perception in an age when they came together to form the wellsprings of conservationist feeling and thought.
