DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith his tape recorder, Richard Negri captured the life stories of seven men and three women who lived by herding cattle and sheep in the area around what is now Canyonlands National Park. Encompassing Wayne, Emery, and Garfield counties in southeastern Utah, this was a scenic land of isolated ranches, precipitous paths, and little water or food in the San Rafael Desert and the canyonlands west of the Green and Colorado Rivers. The stories he captured are rich with descriptive details of landscape and the challenges it presented to both humans and animals eeking out a living in this parched territory. The interviews with these early cowboys and cowgirls, sheepmen and sheepwomen, are full of colloquialisms, western flavor, and strong opinions. Fleshed out with maps and photographs, the stories capture the precarious existence of these people, celebrating their triumphs and their challenges, often begging the question of how or why one would choice to live in this hard-scrabble place. What shines clear in these stories is the committment these men and women have to their way of life and to the land they called home.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn May 24, 1869, John Wesley Powell and nine crewmen in four wooden rowboats set off down the Green River to map the final blank spot on the American map. Three months later, six ragged men in only two boats emerged from the Grand Canyon. And what happened along the rugged 1,000 river miles in between quickly became the stuff of legend. Today, the JWP route offers some of the most adventurous paddling in the United States. Across six southwestern states, paddlers will find a surprising variety of trips. Enjoy flatwater floats through Canyonlands and the Uinta Basin; whitewater kayaking or rafting in Dinosaur National Monument and Cataract Canyon; afternoon paddleboarding on Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Lake Powell; multiday expeditions through Desolation Canyon and the Grand Canyon; and much more, including remarkable hikes and excursions to ancestral ruins, historic sites, museums, and waterfalls. Paddling the John Wesley Powell Route is a narrated guide that combines a multi-chapter retelling of the dramatic 1869 expedition with stunning landscape photography, modern discoveries along the route, overview maps, and information about permits, shuttles, access points, rental equipment, guided trips, and further readings. Come celebrate the dramatic 1869 expedition by exploring the route and learning the story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"From its Green River source in Wyoming to its black conclusion in Mexico's Gulf of California, the 1,700-mile Colorado is America's second-longest river and the one with the most beautiful vistas. For Fletcher this was an opportunity to perform aesthetic and emotional geology on the landscape (and on himself), and to treat the reader to a host of dramatic, moving and hilarious experiences. We see sandhill cranes and great blue herons; we experience many miles of whitewater challenges that stretch Fletcher's rafting capabilities to the limit; we float through stupendous canyons and open desert, pass mountains and abandoned villages; we flyfish for rainbow trout. We meet the people who live along the river, other adventurers, tourists. We wake up every morning to fresh views and the rewards of wilderness solitude. And finally we come to know this feisty curmudgeon who in his late sixties achieved the journey of a lifetime."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
