| Summary | "The Geologic Story of Colorado National Monument" by Stanley William Lohman is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. The work explores the geology and history of the Colorado National Monument, covering its complex geological features and the significant events that shaped its landscape over millions of years. The book serves to make geological science accessible to laymen, particularly to visitors interested in the natural history of this stunning area. The opening of the book begins with a preface detailing the author's background and the impetus for writing this geological narrative. Lohman introduces the Colorado National Monument as a site of vibrant geological history that dates back over a billion years, shaping the present-day majestic cliffs and canyons. He mentions the colorful attraction of early explorer John Otto, who played an essential role in establishing the National Monument, hinting at the interplay between human history and natural history that will be explored throughout the book. This initial section sets the stage for a deep dive into the region's geological formations, processes, and the long expanse of time involved in their development.
