The Grand Canyon, not explored before, was as mysterious as Atlantis-and as perilous. The ten men set out from Green River Station, Wyoming Territory down the Colorado in four wooden rowboats. Ninety-nine days later, six half-starved wretches came ashore near Callville, Arizona.Lewis and Clark opened the West in 1803, six decades later Powell and his scruffy band aimed to resolve the Wests last mystery. A brilliant narrative, a thrilling journey, a cast of memorable heroes-all these mark Down the Great Unknown, the true story of the last epic adventure on American soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDown the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon | 1st Edition | Edward Dolnick\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678231666928,"sku":"NEW0060955864","price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/down-the-great-unknown-john-wesley-powells-1869-journey-of","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
