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. 000858570 60010 $$aPowell, John Wesley,$$d1834-1902$$xTravel$$zColorado River (Colo.-Mexico) 000858570 60010 $$aPowell, John Wesley,$$d1834-1902$$xTravel$$zArizona$$zGrand Canyon. 000858570 650_0 $$aExplorers$$zColorado River (Colo.-Mexico)$$vBiography. 000858570 650_0 $$aExplorers$$zArizona$$zGrand Canyon$$vBiography. 000858570 651_0 $$aColorado River (Colo.-Mexico)$$xDiscovery and exploration. 000858570 651_0 $$aGrand Canyon (Ariz.)$$xDiscovery and exploration. 000858570 830_0 $$aAmerican grit. 000858570 85200 $$bgen$$hF788$$i.K94$$i2017 000858570 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858570$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858570 980__ $$aBIB 000858570 980__ $$aBOOK
