Omschrijving

In 1955 photographer Charles Eggert and river guide Don Hatch set off down the Green River to duplicate the 1870s journey of John Wesley Powell. Eggert's film A Canyon Voyage debuted after the trip, but his written narrative was never published. This book finally brings Eggert's writings out of the archives and into the public eye.

A significant contribution to the field of river history. Eggert has written an engaging account. He makes the various members of the party come alive as characters and he explains well the vicissitudes, problems, and joys of the journey. I found myself wanting to read on."—James Aton, author of The River Knows Everything: Desolation Canyon and the Green and John Wesley Powell: His Life and Legacy

"This book is a contribution to the history of exploration on the upper Colorado River, composed as it is of literature, adventure, a bit of sociology, and (harkening to the 1950s) modern history."—Earle Spamer, co-editor of Bibliography of the Grand Canyon and Lower Colorado River from 1540

Charles Eggert (1918–2005) was an independent filmmaker and photographer. His films were instrumental in the establishment of Canyonlands National Park and in deterring the building of Echo Park Dam, which would have flooded Dinosaur National Monument.
