The uncut version of Powell's narrative of the 1869 journey down the Green and Colorado rivers. One of the great works of American exploration literature, this account of a scientific expedition forced to survive famine, attacks, mutiny, and some of the most dangerous rapids known to man remains as fresh and exciting today as it was in 1874.
Includes the full text of the later 1870 expedition along the Uinta, where John Wesley Powell rediscovered the Pueblo Indians and Powell's later reflections on the expedition.
