A parallel story about the canyon Indians and John Wesley Powell's trip down the Grand Canyon. Some good descriptions of the scientific efforts of Powell under the current of the story line. A very rugged and awe inspiring journey not possible today because of Lake Powell.

This is about the mapping of the Grand Canyon, which was the last frontier in the continental US at the time. No one knew what was at the bottom. No white man had ever seen it, gone in, or come out alive. It is an incredible tale of courage, stupidity and luck. Reads like a novel.
