Notes: It’s hard to imagine that there was ever any opposition to naming the Grand Canyon as a National Park, but yes, there was.  Damming the Colorado for power–IN the canyon–mining its depths–IN the canyon.  Who thinks like this?  This pamphlet was probably the government’s attempt to give “accurate” information for park service staff and tourists alike.
