"The Last River: John Wesley Powell and the Colorado River Exploring Expedition" by Gregory Manchess chronicles the daring journey of John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran and geologist, who led an expedition through the uncharted territory of the Colorado River in 1869. Powell and his team faced treacherous rapids and harsh landscapes while navigating the river's majestic canyons. The narrative captures their struggles, the bonds formed in adversity, and Powell's enduring spirit of exploration. Intertwined with stunning illustrations, the story highlights the challenges of discovery and the profound impact of nature on the human spirit.
