1.           Adams, Eilean - HELL OR HIGH WATER. James White's Disputed Passage through Grand Canyon, 1867. Utah State University Press, Logan, 2001, pict. wraps, 220pp., illus., references. Although John Wesley Powell and party are usually given credit for the first river descent through the Grand Canyon, the ghost of James White has haunted those claims. White was a Colorado prospector, who, almost two years before Powell’s journey, washed up on a makeshift raft at Callville, Nevada. His claim to have entered the Colorado above the San Juan River with another man (soon drowned) as they fled from Indians was widely disseminated and believed for a time, but Powell and his successors on the river publicly discounted it. Colorado River runners and historians have since debated whether White’s passage through Grand Canyon even could have happened. Hell or High Water is the first full account of White’s story and how it became distorted and he disparaged over time. It is also a fascinating detective story, recounting how White’s granddaughter, Eilean Adams, over decades and with the assistance of a couple of notable Colorado River historians who believed he could have done what he claimed, gradually uncovered the record of James White’s adventure and put together a plausible narrative of how and why he ended up floating helplessly down a turbulent river, entrenched in massive cliffs, with nothing but a driftwood raft to carry him through.

3.           Aitchison, Stewart - A GUIDE TO SOUTHERN UTAH'S HOLE-IN-THE-ROCK TRAIL. University of Utah Press, Salt Lake City, 2005, 8vo., pict. wraps, 30 illus., 9 maps. - In 1879, 230 settlers in southwestern Utah heeded the call from leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to pull up stakes and move to the distant San Juan country of southeastern Utah. Their year-long journey became one of the most extraordinary wagon trips ever undertaken in North America, their trail one of peril, difficulty, and spectacular vistas. Beginning in Cedar City, Utah, this trail crosses today’s Dixie National Forest, skirts Bryce Canyon National Park, bisects the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, crosses the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and comes close to Natural Bridges National Monument on its way to Bluff, Utah. Though the trail that these devoted pioneers broke across raw frontier was used for several years afterward, no highway was built over most of the route because it was deemed too rugged for modern vehicles. In addition to the historical value of the story of these pioneers, this guide includes road logs, maps, and hiking trails along the historic trail. It also points out fascinating natural history along the way, making A Guide to Southern Utah’s Hole-in-the-Rock Trail a significant reference for a variety of readers.

Being wild and so remote was a distinct asset for the outlaws. Quite understandably the law men hesitated to attempt to penetrate these wastes to capture the wanted men.

He knew every river runner in between, and by the time of his death at 80 years old, had run more of the Colorado than anyone. But it was never easy--orphaned an abused, Loper had to make his way along the bottom of society, often as a hard-rock miner, coal miner or lonely placer miner on a gravel bar. But in the Colorado River he found inspiration, and he died at the oars of his own wooden boat in a major Grand Canyon Rapid. Loper is truly mythic, and his is the story of the Colorado. - New.

The Salmon, Green, and Colorado River Journals of Buzz Holmstrom including the 1938 accounts of Amos Burg, Philip Lundstrom, and Willis Johnson. - Fretwater Press, Arizona, 2003, 8vo., pict. wraps, 252pp., illus. - In 1937, Haldane "Buzz" Holmstrom launched his home-made wooden rowboat at Green River Wyoming and rowed more than 1,000 rapid-strewn miles to Boulder Dam. He was the first to do it alone. A year earlier he had soloed Idaho's Salmon - The River of No Return. Although Holmstrom tried to keep his exploits private, the press made him a national celebrity. In 1938, Holmstrom repeated his Green and Colorado trip for film. Now Brad Dimock, one of Holmstrom's biographers, has transcribed each of Holmstrom's journals, as well as those of his 1938 companions, to more fully tell the story of one of America's greatest, most eloquent, and most humble boatmen. For those who have read The Doing of the Thing and want to know Holmstrom better, or for those who simply want to follow a brilliant man, through his own words, as he moves uneasily from the age of wilderness expeditions to the more modern commercialized era, Every Rapid Speaks Plainly will speak to you.

Note: It's impossible for modern river runners to float on down to the marina site at Paiute Farms.

A temple with the traditional angel-tipped spire stands on a little juniper-covered hill in the northeastern Arizona town of Snowflake as a testament to the hard work and sacrifices of early Mormon pioneers. These ranching and farming families, sent from fruitful Utah to colonize a land only marginally suitable for farming, became experts in irrigation as they struggled to utilize the waters of Silver Creek and the Little Colorado River. Through sheer determination, they turned alluvium into verdant fields, and the surrounding well-drained Great Basin Desert Shrub became their pastures. But their religion and their families were always the main focus. Today the growing communities of Snowflake, Taylor, and Shumway attract new residents and visitors alike with the beauty of their natural setting, mild yet distinct seasons, and hometown charm.
