Down The Colorado With Major Powell/Selected Writings Of John Muir
DOWN THE COLORADO is the narrative of the first party to explore the Grand Canyon 100 years ago. John Wesley Powell, leader of the expedition, was a one-armed hero of the Civil War. He was a professional geologist, a fabulous observer and pioneer, and in these pages Ullman catches all of the event's perilous drama. John Muir's stories are set in western states as well and form a suitable accompaniment to Powell's great adventure.
