Additional Details:
The civilized world first heard of the Grand Canyon in 1540, when it was discovered by a detachment of Coronado's expedition into Tusayan, or Hopi Land. Pedro de Castaneda, the historian of Coronado's forces, says: "It seemed to be more than three or four leagues in an air line across to the other bank of the stream" which flowed below, and that they spent three days on this bank looking for a passage down to the river, but found it impossible to descend.
