On the 140th anniversary of Major John Wesley Powell's pioneering 1869 trip down the Green and Colorado rivers, researchers are still discovering new information about Powell and his life. Powell has most often been described as a soldier, explorer, adventurer, and scientist. But he was also a consummate government bureaucrat and a visionary for his recognition of the West as the "Arid Lands." Join Northern Arizona University Special Collections librarian Richard Quartaroli to hear about the latest research into the wild and mild worlds of John Wesley Powell.

  • I have posted a video on the Powell men. It's hard not to blame the Mormons. They murdered with impunity. I think the men had an idea and it wasn't Washington DC approved. So, when it failed, JWP, etc had no recourse, no protection or avenue of recourse. And so it went away. But if they were killed as the "Leany Letter" suggests, the bodies were not moved far. So the skelatons can be found. And so can many others. I have an idea where some are. But time will tell.....
