Super fun to learn more about one of my ancestors! Ebenezer seemed like a really great hardworking man! So glad I was able to read about his life and the many things he accomplished!

This book is worth neither your money or your time, unless you are part of the Bryce family. There is very little text in the book, it's barely more than a pamphlet really. And it is not informative for those looking to learn about Bryce's life in "Bryce's Canyon".
