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.

Wyoming

Even with its craggy peaks and dusty plains, scorching sun and subzero temperatures, Wyoming's terrain and climate are not nearly as diverse as its wildflowers.  From the rosy purple moss campion that blankets the state's treeless tundra to the lavender-flowered beardtongue found in roadside ditches across the plains, Wyoming's wildflowers brighten the Cowboy State's rugged and forbidding landscape.

1889
The most blatant crime in the history of the West.  They lynched Cattle Kate & Jim Averell.  This story is so controversial that for over 100 years it was a mistake to even ask what happened that hot July afternoon in 1889 
when a gracious young woman and an 
innocent homesteader were hanged from a 
pine tree in the Sweetwater Valley.
