About the author

John Wesley Powell

1834–1902

A one-armed Civil War veteran who became one of the great explorers of the American West, he is best known for leading the first government-sponsored expedition through the Grand Canyon. His writing blends adventure, science, and big questions about how people can live in the arid landscapes of the West.
