Story4.5 out of 5 stars 253
On May 24, 1869 a one-armed Civil War veteran, John Wesley Powell, and a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in the American West. The Grand Canyon, not explored before, was as mysterious as Atlantis - and as perilous. The 10 men set out from Green River Station, Wyoming Territory, down the Colorado in four wooden rowboats. Ninety-nine days later, six half-starved wretches came ashore near Callville, Arizona.

Loved the new detail and additions to the history I have read and loved for years

Narrators voice can be a little irritating, although it is flavored like I would imagine a mountain man’s.
