Description
This photograph is part of an album containing photographs of Arizona and New Mexico by William Henry Jackson , as well as photographs of San Antonio , Texas , by Mary E. Jacobson. In 1883 , 'Captain ' John Hance became the first European American to settle at the Grand Canyon. He worked as a guide and hotel manager and had a reputation as an imaginative , eccentric , and highly entertaining storyteller. Hance improved an old Havasupai trail at the head of today's Hance Creek drainage shortly after his arrival , but it was subject to frequent washouts. When rockslides made the 'Old Hance Trail ' impassable , he built the New Hance Trail down Red Canyon.
