Behold the Shining Mountains | Book two of the authors’ Talking History Series. “…combines the true tales of many epic people, weaving them into a grand tapestry of the times without losing sight of the main characters….despite its historical precision, Behold the Shining Mountains is a three hanky book with a dozen belly laughs,” (from Introduction). 1830-1836 era. |

Down
the Great Unknown
John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy through the Grand Canyon |
On
May 23, 1869, a one-armed Civil War veteran named John Wesley Powell and
a ragtag band of nine mountain men embarked on the last great quest in
the American West. No one had ever explored the fabled Grand
Canyon; to adventurers of that era it was a region almost as mysterious
as Atlantis -- and as perilous.
The ten men set out down the mighty Colorado River in wooden rowboats. Six survived. |

Along the way, Ambrose shows us the American West as Lewis saw it -- wild, awesome, and pristinely beautiful. |
