This book would, I'm sure, have been a fascinating read in print form.

times on a single page. I only fought my way to the end of the book because the story was so compelling, a first-person narrative of a fantastic adventure told in a near-offhand, casual manner, as tho a quick, two-hour hike to the top of a 2800' cliff through chasms and rockfalls with dizzying drops only inches away just to see what perils lay ahead was a normal workaday event. Which, for the record, it was for these amazing gentlemen. Kindle seriously needs to address the ruinous formatting of this book. Myself, I will be getting my hands on the actual hardback print version so I can enjoy this true-life adventure without the painful frustration the Kindle version presents.

The item met my expectation and I am very happy with it.
Slow
Enjoying this book very much. These men were true adventurers.
A factual book and very interesting. A good addition to my collection of non-fiction and one that I will reread at another time.
Who could match John Wesley Powell
Great book. The first of its kind and still and excellent description of the Grand Canyon. I rafted the canyon in April before reading the book, and often it would still serve as a decent guide book. It's also a fun read.
Kept me interested while I ride my exercise bike. Very interesting about the details of the canyon. I recommend to anyone liking the rugged outdoors.
