Presents John Wesley Powell in the full diversity of his achievements and interests, bringing together in a single volume writings ranging from his gripping account of exploring the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon to his views on the evolution of civilisation, along with the seminal writings in which he sets forth his ideas on western settlement and the allocation and management of western resources.
'This is a superb selection of the most important writings of the great American explorer, scientist, and conservationist. Powell's name has often been evoked over the past century, but few people have had access to the full range of his vigorous prose. Now deBuys has given us an exceptionally good introduction to the man, his ideas, and his America." -Donald Worster, Author Of A River Runningwest: The Life Of John Wesley Powell"
