Canyons of the Colorado - Paperback

Canyons of the Colorado is a classic American nature text by J.W. Powell. On my return from the first exploration of the canyons of the Colorado, I found that our journey had been the theme of much newspaper writing. A story of disaster had been circulated, with many particulars of hardship and tragedy, so that it was currently believed throughout the United States that all the members of the party were lost save one.
