  <description><![CDATA[John Wesley Powell fought in the Civil War and it cost him an arm. But it didn't stop him from exploring the American West.  <p>Here Wallace Stegner, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, gives us a thrilling account of Powell's struggle against western geography and Washington politics. We witness the successes and frustrations of Powell's distinguished career, and appreciate his unparalleled understanding of the West.  <p>&quot;Stegner's most exciting work.&quot; (San Francisco Chronicle)  <p>Note: B-O-T also has Down the Colorado with Major Powell, by James Ramsey Ullman (#1051)</p></p></p>]]></description>
