From the reader's standpoint there are a number of good reasons for concluding the narrative in 1887. It was in this year that the Santa Fe built its line into Chicago and thereby became a transcontinental system; it was in 1887 that the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act marked a new era in railroad history; and it was in this year that the Santa Fe completed the colonizing of its land-grant."

Holmes and artwork by Thomas Moran, is a rich portfolio of art as well as a collection of maps and an exposition of geology." [Farquhar] This work was important both as a work of art and as the scientific foundation upon which subsequent mapping was based, making it one of the most popular cartographic works devoted to the Grand Canyon.

This Dutton monograph alone occupies 117 pages, with numerous illus. by Thomas Moran, W. H. Holmes, and others, including several foldouts apparently borrowed from Dutton's monumental TERTIARY HISTORY OF THE GRAND CAÑON DISTRICT and its related Atlas. This superb paper is one of several in the same volume, including Gilbert's "History of Lake Bonneville," Emmon's "Geology of Leadville," and Becker's "Geology of the Comstock Lode." Each of these, including the Dutton, is an abbreviated version of a longer monograph later published separately by the USGS. The Dutton paper, a condensation of his TERTIARY, has received little notice in Canyon studies and bibliographies. Farquhar does not mention it. Yet it has to be one of the key geological documents in Canyon literature. And as it is less scarce than the TERTIARY, it is more accessible to collectors.

Moreover, the illustrations are remarkable: those from Möllhausen's sketches are often admirable...two from photographs represent perhaps the first use of the camera in Arizona, certainly on the Colorado River." J. S. Newberry's contribution as expedition geologist is specially significant, for Newberry was the first to postulate a geologic theory on the origin of Grand Canyon. Farquhar 21.

It occupied New Mexico and parts of California and Chihuahua, defeated the Mexicans in the battles of Bracito (1846), Sacramento (1847), and Santa Cruz de Rosales (1848), constructed forts in the newly-occupied territory, made peach with some of the Indian tribes, opened roads, and explored a portion of the country. Very active throughout the war, it helped to prepare the inhabitants for the change from Mexican to American rule.

He had much talent, still undeveloped and rich in hope, which found partial expression in literary fragments left unpolished and untrimmed. Uncertain of his calling, he went west -- to Arizona -- and his vivid nature was awakened. He was overwhelmed by the wonder, the beauty, the immensity of God's Country.

Flood & Vincent, Meadville, PA, The Chautauqua-Century Press, 1895, large 4to., rebound in 3/4 brown leather w/gilt, , top edge gilt, more than 250 illustrations, frontis. portrait of heavily bearded Powell with his facsimile signature. Howes (P527) calls this "The first complete narrative" [of Powell's famed transit of the Colorado river]; his earlier reports were largely devoted to scientific data." Scores of this edition's illustrations appeared first, and probably only, in this account. Farquhar (43) gives the Meadville a separate listing because "it differs in so many respects from the report of 1875...Not only has the narrative been revised and augmented, but there are several new chapters and a great many new illustrations. Included in the latter are adaptations from the superb sketches of William H. Holmes which are featured in the Dutton atlas. Altogether, it is a handsome book, and also a scarce one." "Scarce" is an understatement: it is believed, by some Powell experts, and by Van Allen Bradley, that only a hundred or so copies of the Meadville ever reached the marketplace, so the copy offered here may be literally "one in a hundred." Darrah, in his POWELL OF THE COLORADO, says the Major was handsomely paid for his writing. He planned, said Darrah, to save the money toward purchase of a summer cottage "on some rocky shore of the ocean." Powell ultimately made this dream come true. He passed away in his Haven, Maine waterfront cottage in 1902. Farquhar 43. This copy has been rebound in maroon cloth with 3/4 leather, leather spine and corners, title in gilt, the spine has raised ribs and stamped decoration.

This is Powell's monumental report on his two River expeditions, combined to read as if there had been only one voyage. The core volume in any comprehensive River/Canyon library. Whatever the book's shortcomings, says Wallace Stegner, "no matter how many boatmen run the river in the future, or swim it, or go down it in barrels or on inflated inner tubes, this is the river story that will always have readers. For reasons that will be apparent to anyone who opens it, it is truly one of the great tales of adventure.".

Stone. Farquhar calls CRC "a highly important book," adding the caveat that it should "not be evaluated without a careful examination…" The "controversies" in CRC are (1) James White versus J. W. Powell, each claiming to being first down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, and (2) the true story of what happened at Separation Rapid, where three members of Powell's crew left the party, and were soon after killed. The text of CRC contains only "fragments from Stanton's truly prodigious researches; it is a pity that his entire manuscript could not have been published."
