The ninth book in the bestselling series tells the story of John
Wesley Powell, the one-armed geologist who explored the Grand
Canyon John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) always had the spirit of
adventure in him. As a young man, he traveled all over the United
States exploring. When the Civil War began, Powell went to fight
for the Union, and even after he lost most of his right arm, he
continued to fight until the war was over. He then embarked on the
1869 Powell Geographic Expedition, which became the first official
US government-sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Over the
course of three months, the explorers lost their boats and
supplies, nearly drowned, and were in peril on multiple occasions.
However, they made it through, and Powell would come to be known as
one of the most epic explorers in history! Equal parts gruesome and
hilarious, this latest installment in the bestselling series takes
readers on an action-packed adventure through American history.
