''Brighty of the Grand Canyon'' is a 1953 children's novel by Marguerite Henry and a 1967 film of the same name based on the novel. They present a fictionalized account of a real-life burro named "Brighty", who lived in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River from about 1892 to 1922.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brighty: Of the Grand Canyon )〕 ==History== Brighty first appears in the annals of history in 1890 in Flagstaff, Arizona, in the possession of two men who were on their way to the Grand Canyon. He is next recorded on the South Rim where he and his owners were seen to enter the Canyon via the Bright Angel Trail. Shortly after that two herdsmen entered the canyon to attempt to find the remains of an earlier drowning victim along the Colorado. Instead, they found a camp at the confluence of the Colorado and Bright Angel Creek that was abandoned with the exception of Brighty. It appeared that the two men had saddled and ridden their horses down to and into the Colorado wherein they presumably drowned. Their identities were never determined and their bodies were never recovered.〔Ghiglieri, M. P. & Myers, T. M., 2001: ''Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon'', Puma Press, Flagstaff. Ed. 1, Rev. 11, pp 184-185〕 Originally named "Bright Angel" after a creek that flowed into the Grand Canyon from his summer dwelling on the North Rim, Brighty spent summers carrying water from a spring below the rim to accommodate tourists coming to the Canyon. He was gentle and popular with children. Brighty was the first to cross the suspension bridge built over the Colorado River at the base of the canyon, having helped in the building of the structure. The burro accompanied U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt while he hunted mountain lions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brighty of the Grand Canyon'' (film and novel) )〕 (The role of Roosevelt is portrayed in the film by Karl Swenson.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In Memory of Karl Swenson (1908-1978) )〕
