      abstract = {In 1869, Civil War veteran and amputee Major John Wesley  Powell led an expedition down the uncharted Colorado River  through the then-nameless Grand Canyon. This is the story  of what started as a geological survey, but ended in  danger, chaos, and blood. The men were inexperienced and  ill-equipped, and they faced unimaginable peril. Along the  way there was death, mutiny, and abject terror, but Powell  persevered and produced a masterwork of adventure writing  still held in the highest regard by the boatmen who follow  his course today.},
