Down
the Great Unknown
John
Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy through the Grand
Canyon |
On
May 23, 1869, a one-armed Civil War veteran named John Wesley Powell and
a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in
the American West. No one had ever explored the fabled Grand
Canyon; to adventurers of that era it was a region almost as mysterious
as Atlantis -- and as perilous.
The ten men set out down the mighty
Colorado River in wooden rowboats. Six survived. |
