Largely unrecognized today, he was he first non-native American to float down the entire length of the Colorado and was credited with "finding" the Grand Canyon.  As one of the first directors of the US Geological Survey, his recommendations for settling the American Southwest went largely unheeded, leading to the current climate crisis in this parched region.This is an extended reading resource describing the exploration of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon conducted by a party led by John Wesley Powell in 1869. It also contains several comprehension questions, an essay and extended learning options.It also contains hyperlinks which explain the exploration in more detail.
