Experienced attorney Edgar (Ed) Gentle serves as a special master and settlement administrator on behalf of the Alabama courts. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Ed Gentle enjoys visiting Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona multiple times per year.
Although scientists estimate that the Grand Canyon was carved out over roughly six million years and inhabited by humans as early as the last Ice Age, the mile-deep gorge in northern Arizona wasn't named a national park until February 1919. With the 100-year anniversary of that milestone approaching, the Grand Canyon National Park has partnered with Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University to present "100 Years of Grand," which seeks to enhance public understanding of the history of the natural wonder.
As part of the project, thousands of archival materials such as photographs and documents dating back to 1890 have been made available on a trio of online repositories hosted at lib.asu.edu/Grand100. Documents include a 1925 map of the park, a 1916 press release detailing the bill to confirm the Grand Canyon as a national park, and a 1933 public invitation to the blessing of the Hopi Watchtower.
