Brighty of the Grand Canyon is a 1967 film based on a 1953 children's novel of the same name by Marguerite Henry, a fictionalized account of a real-life burro named "Brighty", who lived in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River from about 1892-1922. 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, located in northwestern Arizona. He was smart -- he would kick a man he thought dishonest. He was gentle -- children could ride endlessly on his back without his being provoked. Brighty was the first to have crossed the suspension bridge built over the Colorado River at the base of the canyon, having even helped in the building of the structure. The burro hunted mountain lions with former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, an avid student of the American West who once operated two ranches in South Dakota.The role of Roosevelt is portrayed in the film by Karl Swenson, later cast as the Scandinavian Lars Hanson on Michael Landon's NBC television series, Little House on the Prairie.
