El Tovar, Harvey Company and Atchison,Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad played a pivotal role in creating the dominant mythology of the American Southwest. As guest speaker at the November 6 Historical League meeting, Dr. John Nathan Mack gave us a fascinating view into the post-Civil war period when national attention shifted to the canyons and deserts of the American Southwest.
