Summary
A vivid portrait of American explorer and pioneering environmentalist John Wesley Powell describes his epic odyssey down the Colorado River in 1869; his study of the region's wildlife, geology, and native peoples; his return to Washington to advocate conservation in the West; and his failure in the face of Western politicians pushing for unfettered economic development.
