Dellenbaugh joined John Wesley Powell’s second descent of the Green and Colorado in 1871 as a young man. Here he tells the whole story of the river, from the early Spanish explorers and trappers to the junction of the Green and Grand, and Powell’s voyages through the Grand Canyon, drawing on his own two years in the canyons.
Part history, part memoir, it is a classic for anyone who has stood on the canyon rim or run its rapids. Download the free EPUB.
