Quotes

 * Dutton wrote the butte he named Shiva after the Hindu deity, Shiva the Destroyer, was “the grandest of all buttes and the most majestic in aspect…such a stupendous scene of wreck, it seemed as if the fabled ‘Destroyer’ might find an abode [here] not wholly uncongenial.”
 * As quoted from Naming of Places in the Grand Canyon mygrandcanyonpark.com
