Brighty of the Grand Canyon Henry, Marguerite

A shaggy young burro lay asleep in the gray dust of the canyon trail. Except for the slow heaving of his sides and an occasional flick of an ear, he seemed part of the dust and the ageless limestone that rose in great towering battlements behind him. (from the first line)

This is the true story of a shaggy little burro that blazed the original trails through the Grand Canyon, long before it became a national park. Black-and-white illustrations.

From the Publisher:
Brighty, a shaggy little burro from days gone by, braves the rough terrain of the original trails through the Grand Canyon
