Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon
A easy and enlightening read about the first documented journey through the Grand Canyon. I've read a bit about the Colorado River and Grand Canyon, yet I gained a whole new appreciation for the river's unique challenges. I've read some comments that complain that the writer used too many flowery metaphors and comparisons to demonstrate the river's power. I strongly disagree with the criticisms. I found the writing to be excellent and the detailed explanations to be truly informative.
