Omschrijving
Canyons of the Colorado is a book written by J.W. Powell, an American explorer and geologist who led the first expedition down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. The book is a detailed account of Powell's 1869 expedition, which was the first scientific exploration of the Colorado River and its canyons. Powell describes the geological formations, flora and fauna, and the Native American tribes encountered along the way. He also recounts the challenges and dangers faced by the expedition, including treacherous rapids, intense heat, and dwindling supplies. The book is considered a classic of American exploration literature and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West.One must not think of a mountain range as a line of peaks standing on a plain, but as a broad platform many miles wide from which mountains have been carved by the waters. One must conceive, too, that this plateau is cut by gulches and canyons in many directions and that beautiful valleys are scattered about at different altitudes. The first series of canyons we are about to explore constitutes a river channel through such a range of mountains.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
