There have been numerous books and periodicals written about Meteor Crater; the meteorites; and the crater�s scientific value; but this book; with supporting images; is more about people. The story covers some history of the crater�s founding and the many people who have been; and presently are; associated with the custody and maintenance of the site; preserving it for future scientific study and generations of visitors. These people include geologists; astrophysicists; astronauts; generations of families named Barringer and Tremaine; and local ranchers named Chilson-Prosser. All have; and continue to; influence and shape what the site has become; each adding their signature to the famous landmark. Today; these families; supported by Meteor Crater Enterprises management and staff of dedicated people; continue the legacy of sharing the history and science with 250;000 annual visitors from around the globe while they continue to focus on preserving the scientific integrity of the crater for future generations.
