New York: Oxford University Press, 2002. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 9x6x1. 1st printing. Faint edge wear. 2002 Trade Paperback. 688 pp. If the word "hero" still belonged in the historian's lexicon, it would certainly be applied to John Wesley Powell. Intrepid explorer, careful scientist, talented writer, and dedicated conservationist, Powell led the expedition that put the Colorado River on American maps and revealed the Grand Canyon to the world. Now comes the first biography of this towering figure in almost fifty years--a book that captures his life in all its heroism, idealism, and ambivalent, ambiguous humanity.
