“Powell was first of all a scientist with a deep curiosity about nature, and this curiosity motivated his explorations. Because Powell viewed the landscape and waterscape as a scientist, he realized that the arid West couldn't fit into America's Manifest Destiny dreams, and thus he became a pioneering conservationist.”
Don Lago, The Powell Expedition: New Discoveries about John Wesley Powell's 1869 River Journey

“I was born on the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, thirty-five years after my initial birth in New York City.”
Patricia McCairen, Canyon Solitude: A Woman's Solo River Journey Through the Grand Canyon
