A River Running West the Life of John Wesley Powell by Donald Worster is a biography that captures the towering figure of John Wesley Powell. Powell was an explorer, scientist, and conservationist. He led the expedition that put the Colorado River on the map and and revealed the Grand Canyon to the world. In this sweeping narrative, the author re-creates Powell's great adventures and puts them in historical context. Powell barely survived the Civil War at Shiloh, but nature not war would test his great fortitude. His epic journey down the Colorado River in 1869 is the heart of the book with its harrowing experiences and breathtaking discoveries.
