Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon by Edward Dolnick - 400 pages
My super awesome sister-in-law Miriam bought this book for me a few years back and I finally got to it this year. It's the story of the first expedition down the Colorado into the Grand Canyon.
Adventure, white-water danger, one-armed manly men, presuppositional atheistic geology, Mormon murder mystery...all told in breathtaking detail by award winning journalist Edward Dolnick.
Excellent read!
