In 1911 Ellsworth Kolb and his brother Emery, photographers at the Grand Canyon, set out from Green River, Wyoming, in small boats to follow the Green and the Colorado all the way down. They fight the rapids of Lodore and Hell’s Half Mile, pass through the Canyon of Desolation and meet ranchers and wary strangers along the way, with an introduction by Owen Wister.
