notes
Relive the amazing adventures of the daring explorers of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon--the men who gave names to world-famous river and canyon sites: Glen Canyon, Bright Angel, Dirty Devil, Vasey's Paradise, the name Grand Canyon itself.
The Powell Expedition embarked at Green River Station, Wyoming in May of 1869. "Grand Canyon Courage" joins the brigade deep in the wilds of Utah at the junction of the Green and Grand, where these rivers merge to form the mighty Colorado. Author/Narrator Mark Sickman traces their daring rush down the river, into and through the Grand Canyon.
Rich in detail and lyrically presented, this Double-CD audiobook captures the true spirit of Powell’s adventure--his tenacious leadership, the incredible physical hardship, the audacious courage, the intense psychological interplay among the members of the expedition. Brilliant renditions of traditional music by Mary Z. Cox help bring the story to life.
"Grand Canyon Courage" is perfect for anyone who loves a great yarn beautifully told. It’s the ideal audio companion for tourists exploring the Canyon, or traveling the lonesome highways of Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
