February 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #78: Brighty of the Grand Canyon


1

Tip of the Week

Inside the lobby of the Grand Canyon North Rim Lodge, you'll see a charming bronze statue of "Brighty," the title character in Margurite Henry's children's tale, "Brighty of the Grand Canyon."

Brighty the burro really did exist. He carried water up the trail from a spring near Bright Angel Creek sometime between 1892 and 1922, and his official name was "Bright Angel," but everyone called him Brighty.

Brighty became an instant hit with children around the world, and a production company even made a film based on the little burro in 1953. Surrounding the statue in the sunroom visitors will find some articles and information about the book, the statue, and the author. It's a tradition that rubbing Brighty's nose will bring good luck.
