Item Details
New York, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1932
Large 8vo. 442 pp. Index. Illustrated with more than 300 photographic plates documenting the expedition, river travel, camps, rapids, and the spectacular canyon landscape. Of particular interest as a photographic record of the Colorado River country before the major twentieth-century dam projects transformed portions of the region. A near fine copy in publisher's color illustrated dust jacket (fading to spine).
First edition of this important early account of exploration of the canyon country of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Julius F. Stone accompanied the pioneering river runner Nathaniel Galloway on the 1909 expedition from Green River, Wyoming, through the Green and Colorado Rivers and into the Grand Canyon. Stone's narrative combines adventure, geography, natural history, and observations of the remote Southwest.
