About This Item
Tuscon: University of Arizona Press, November 1984. Trade Paperback. Fourth printing, 1996. Fine. Spine faded, otherwise As New. Interior pristine. Spine straight and tight. Corners sharp. Covers clean and bright. xxxvi + 277 pages. Fifty B&W illustrations.
This account of the second Powell expedition is a reprint of the 1962 Yale edition and includes all 50 illustrations and a substantial foreword by William H. Geotzmann. One of the seminal books on western history. The author was only 17 when he began the expedition, and he hero-worshiped Powell all his life. Yet this bright, sharp account is so detailed and truthful that the reader can see through his enthusiasm to discover Powell's mean spirit and sometimes reckless nature. It's also a great river-running book.
