cinating Story.
Colonel J. W. Fowell, in a letter addressed
to the New York Tribune, gives the following
vivid description of the marvelous scenery of
tbe Colorado river:
In the great southwest region of the terri
tory of the United States there is a belt of
country that has long been the region of
myths. Gorges with cliffa overhanging to
shut out the day; under-ground courses of a
groat river that carries the melted snows of
vast mountain cisterns; groat cataracts, whose
plunging waters make roaring music, hoard
on the distant mountain sunnttitswitha thou
sand iumginativo embellishments, have been
given as the characteristics of this region,
known vaguely as the Grand Canon of tho
Colorado.
Jinny stories of wild adventure have been
told by Indians, trappers, and prospaetera
stories of walking along tho brink of the
canon walls in search of a passage down to
the waters, but vainly travelling for days and
then perishing for thirst in sight of tho river
below, which roared its mocking iuto dying
ears. Other stories are current of men who
have entered the gorge only to be over
whelmed in an abyss of n alers; still others, of
boats, and boats' crews gliding, down tho
nwit't river into underground passages, to be
lost forever from tho light. Such are tho
legends told in tho hunter's cabin and pro
specter's camp away out among the moun
tains, and now and then these have found
their way into public print.
Expeditions sent out by the Government to
explore tho Colorado and region around about
have reported the canon inaccessible. Tho
traditions of the e.uly Spanish adventurers
make it a land unknown and forever to be
unknown. The Indians of the countries nd
jacent have woveu tho mysteries of it into
the myths of their religion. So, Indians aud
Spanish adventurers, hun'ors and prospectors
have all united in telling fabulous stories of
its wonders and terrors. For two or three
years I have been making some geographical
studies in the mountains to the east aud north,
and while pursuing them, tho thought grew in
my mind that these canons would be a book
of revelations in tho rock-kaved biblo of
geology. The thought fruited with a deter
mination to read the book; so I sought for
all the available information with regard to
the canon land. I talked with tho fndiaus
and hunters; I went among the Mormons to
learn what they knew of this country adjacent
to the ''Kingdom of God,'" the home of the
"Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints." I read the report of the surveys,
and I explored canons of the tributary streams
that I thought would represent somewhat tho
. .u. j-ru,! C'anrjn. on accounted
Uuull'O Oi Wll .... - . .4. ',. (
similar geological and physical charaCl'l. ,US.
From these fabulous stories and reports, facts,
and from a knowledge of other canons, I came
to the belief that tho "Grand Canon of tho
Colorado" could be explored by descending
Ihe river in small boats. I also arrived at
the conclusion that what was known as tho
"Grand Canon" was 5n fact a series of canons,
forming the banks or walls of the Upper Colo
rado, and the lower portions of tho Green aud
Grand that unite to form it. These two
streams unito in canons, and some persons
Jield that the vaguely denned "Grand Canpn"
was continued up the Green, and others that
it was continued up the Grand, while others
still asserted that theso streams united in a
valley. One mau assured me that he, with
several others, had laid out a city at the junc
tion, but was driven away by the Indians.
With this end in.viow, I tame from the
mountains to Chicago last spring, to procure
outfit and build boats. Tour of those wore
made on a model devised for tho purpose of
navigating canon streams; and taking them
out to Green River Station, where tho Union
Tacifio Railroad crosses the Green, I was
ready to embark. There I had a party of
nine men awaiting my arrival, and anxious to
enter the "great unknown" with mo men all
experienced in the wild life of the country,
and most of them in boating on dangerous
Streams. On the 'Hth of May we started.
For a few days our way was through n river
of low canons, and small, green valleys, until
we reached the Uintah mountains. Through
this range the river has cut a wind
ing channel, forming tho Uintah sys
tem of canons. Near tho lower
md of this series Yampa river enters the
Green by a canon. Further down, in a valley
portion of the river, the Uintah and White
come in. llelow this point, nbout ISO miles,
we enter still another series. Low walls of
grey, butt', and rust-colored sandstone shut
us in. These walls slowly increase in height
as we advance. The grey rocks are lost; dark
red sandstones appear; the walls are broken
dowja by lateral canons, increasing in number
until we are in tho heart of the "Canon of
Desolation. " Sometimes theso lateral canons
are so crowded that the rock between them
stands as a narrow wall, hundreds of feet high,
the end toward tho main canon. Some lateral
ranons have their own lateral canons
a third series cutting the wall into sections,
whose towering summits, though large enough
to support cathedrals, seem scarcely to fur
nish footing for a man. Two thousand feet
three thousand feet over head is the summit
of the walls, while rocks and crags and peaks
rise hicher, aud still higher away back from
the river, until they reach an altitude of
nearly live thousand feet. These rusty, grey,
and dark red sandstones have no beauty of
color. A few greenish-grey cedars are seen,
lookinff not like pyramids of evergreen spray.
Imt like clumps of knotty war-clubs bedecked
with spines. Iheso, with a little sage, con
stitute all the verdure.
We next ran through Coal 'Canon, and
passed the mouth of Little White river, then
a valley region, passed the mouth of the Han.,
Rafael, and we ontor Still Water Canon. The
river winds through this with a quiet eurrent,
as if in no haste to leave this beautiful canon
carved out of tho orange 'sandstone. All
along its walls domed alcoves and amphi
theatres have been cut out of the solid rock;
grottoes and caves abound, narrow lateral
canons, channels of rivulets, born of a
shower and born" again of a shower, are cut
as clefts in the rocks, and at every curve on
the inner side is a spot of willow-bordered
meadow. Then the walk grow higher, .the river
THE
swifter, and we glide around to the junction
of tho Grand and Green. Hero tho walls are
nenrly thirteen hundred feet high. Hut away
back from the river are lateral canons and
canon valleys, the floors of which are at about
the same altitude as the immediate walls of
the main canon, and the walls of this upper
set are hundreds of feet high. Lateral to the
second there, is often a third eries, with
floors at a greater altitude hau the floors of
the second; then tho country back is cut into
a labyrinth of canons. The main walls at tho
junction are not vertical, but have tho slope
of broken rocks tumbled down, while the
lateral canons have mostly vertical walls with
a sloping talus at the base. We re
mained at this point several days and
then rowed out into Cataract Canon.
Soon we heard the roar of waters, and came
upon a succession of rocky rapids and cata
racts. Oversoine ofthese we wore compelled to
make portages; usually only the cargoes wore
carried over the rocks, and tho boats were lot
down with lines; but now and thon boats and
all had to be carried. When theso rapids and
cataracts were unobstructed by rocks,or whore
there was any passage, we were ablo to run
thena, never finding any fall greater than
nineteen feet in this canon. Sometimos the
waves below would roll over a boat and till
the open part, but they could not sink it, as
each one was decked fore and aft, and so hud
a water-tight compart ment at each end. Now
and then a boat would roll over, but clinging
to its sides until they could right it, tho men
would swim to the shore, towing it with them.
We found much difficulty in the whirlpools
below; it was almost impossible to get out of
them nt times. They would carry us back
under tho fulls; they would dash us against
the rocks, or they would send us whirling
down the river. For twelve days we toiled
through this canon, stopping oucc to mea
sure the altitudes of its walls near the highest
points, and finding it nearly 'J'OO feet. This
was at tho axis of a vast fold in tho strata,and
from that point tho upper rocks slowly camo
down with a gentle dip to tho southwest until
we reached the foot of tho canon, -1 ." miles from
its head. A rocky valley canon was found hero
on tho left, and the river made a bend around
a sharp point on I ho right, which, point v,u
set wiiu ten thousand crags' and ragged rocks.
We called it Mille-crag Lend, and sweeping
around this in a rapid current our boats shot
into Narrow Canon, down which we glided at
almost railroad speed, the walls rising verti
cally from the water thirteen feet high at its
head, and coming down, to high-water mark
at the foot, seven miles below, where tho
Dirty Devil, a river of mud, entered from tho
right. - Now we had come again to tho red
and orange sandstone, and tho walls were of
beautiful bright rock, low at first, but, as wo
cut down through the strata, rising higher and
higher. Now and then, on this aud that side,
the rocks were vortical from tho water's edge:
but usually they were cut iuto mounds, and
cones, and hills of solid sandstone, rising one
above the other as they stretched back in a
gentle slope for miles. These mounds havo
been out out by tho showers from the bright
orange rock, and glitter in resplendent beauty
under the mid-dny sun. Hour after hour
we gazed entranced on them, as they faded
in the perspective and retreated to the rear,
i i .ho river was gentle though swift, and we
had but to steer our boats, and on we ivent
through this land of beauty and glory.
On tho 21st of July wo reached the month
of the San Juan, at tho foot of Mound
Canon, and went into camp for day or two's
rest. Then wo started again. Wo had now
run once more into the dark red and chocolate-colored
sandstones, with slate-colored
beds below; theso usually formed vortical
walls ocJ"':'on(luy toi'ract-' or broken down,
and i'ronTthe C't of these tho orange
mounds sloped bu; but variegated by
monuments, now vertical, now terrace,
worn in steep slopes; others still combining
these forms, aud set with towers and pinna
cles. These mountains stood alono or in
groups, and spread over the landscape
as far as tho eyo could reach. Tho little
valley of Taria river terminates this c.anon,
making it about 100 miles, iong. Wo
named it Monument Canon. Here the river
Jiad cut through the sandstones and reached
the limestones below, tho same geological
formation as that of Cataract Canon, and as
we advanced the channel was cut into these
new strata. We entered between walls low
but vertical, that gradually increased in alti
tude to the foot, where they were 21MJ0 feet
high, terraced and broken into crags above.
Half way down the canon we found tho lower
I strata appearing as marble; they were white,
and grey, and slate-colorod, men pinn auu
purple, and brown, and other strata variegated
with these colors, until at last we had 400 feet
of marble walls, mostly vertical from
the water's ednre. These were fretted by the
waters, embossed with strange devices, and
polished into beauty. Where there were
patches of marble floor left bare by low water,
basins havo boen carved out by the whirl
pools of the flood season, and were filled with
pools of clear wnter in beautiful contrast to
tho red mud of the river. Cool springs
gushed from the rocks, sparkling, foaming
cascades plunged into marble fonts, and in
contrast to theso, after every shower, cascades
of red mud noured over the walls from the
red saudstono above, with a fall of hundreds
of feot. Wo called this- Marble Canon; it
terminated at the mouth of the Little Colorado,
and was about :) miles long.
Here a short rest, and then we pulled on
tho homo stretch not a very short ono either
nearly miles by river to the mouth of
the Virgin. The lower members of this car
boniferous formation are of dark, rust-colored
sandstones, sometimes almost black. We
soon ran through these, and through Silurian
red sandstone, and about fifteen miles below
the mouth of tho Little Colorado struck tho
granite. From tho mouth of that stream to
the mouth of the Virgin, our objective point,
the general course of the river is
to the west ; but it makes
three great curves to the south, and
three corresponding :urves to the north. At
the extremity of the southern curves the
walls are granite at the base, reaching to an
altitude of )0 feet. This usually rises from
the water in almost vertical cliffs, set above
with ragged crags; then a sloping terrace 100
to f00' yards wide; then walls of sandstone
and marble tohering 200 or lioo feet tawards
tho heavens. In the northern, bends the
marble comes down to tho water's edge. In
the southern bends the liver runs raging
through a narrow gorge filled with rapids and
cataracts, often falling at a plunge from ." to
20 feet, the greatest being 22 feet. Over
these we usually had to run, as the granite
walls rarely gave foothold, though some port
ages were made. The roar of a cataract
could always bo heard for half a mile or more,
so that we never came upon them unapprised
of danger.' In the last great bend to the
south, we came upon a series of cataracts and
rapids crowded together into a distance of
three-fourths of a mile; a stream came down
through a narrow canon on either side, and
above their mouths we . found a foothold to
land; so we stopped to examine.
On the river there seemed to be great dan
ger, and no portage could bg mudo. Coining
on in tho morning, tho day was spent in ex
ploring and trying to docido some method of
getting over tho difficulty. I found that wo
could climb to tho summit of the granite 800
feet hif.;h, and, passing along the terrace,
could dtscend to a point below; but it would
require ten days to get our boats and cargoes
over, and we had scant five days' rations.
When I returned to camp at night, I an
nounced to tho men that we must attempt to
run it. After supper ono of tlioni came to
me and asked if I was willing that he and
two others should leave the river and walk
out over the mountains; they thought that
they could climb out of tho canon, up the
channel of ' tho right hand creek. Of
course I objected, but they woro doterminod
to go. An hour's talk failed to shake their re
solution, so I sat up all night, made observa
tions for the latitude and longitude of that
point, and then walked up and down a littlo
snnd beach until morning. On the morrow
they were still in mind to go, and I hastily
fitted out the littlo party with guns, ammuni
tion, and a small store of rations. In the
mean tinio those going down the river were
ready to start. Not being ablo to man it, I
tied up ono of tho boats and abandoned it.
When all was ready we shook hands, and
some tears were started, as each party thought
the other was going to destruction. "Good
bye," and away went our boats over the first
cataract, then among tho rocks, and
over the second, to tho loft of a
huge rock and whirlpool, and over
tho third, and shot into an eddy below. Tho
boats were half filled with water, but that had
happened many times before; we really found
it less dangerous than a hundred we had ruu
above. The party that was left sat on tho
cliffs and watched us over, and wo went into
camp and waited two hours, hoping that
they would join us with tho boat left tied to
tho rocks above; but we never saw them
ngnin, and they arc yet unheard from. The
names of these men were O. G. I lowland, S.
I lowland, aud W. II. Dunn. That afternoon
wo passed ono more dangerous rapid, and
then hac. fair sailing to the foot, where tho
river debouched into Mormon Valley, so
named by our party.
This ended the 'exploration of the.Graud
Canon of the Colorado; its head at the contin
ence of the Little Colorado, its fot at the
entrance of tho river, to Mormon Valley its
length nbout '')X miles, its altitude from 2.V)0
to 1000 feet. A number of clear streams flow
in from either side; the largest coming down
from the Buckskin Mountains on the north,
which we named Right Anglo river. I have
mentioned the terraces of tho southern
bends: these have been sites of ancient In
dian villages, inhabited by a race of diminu
tive people now almost extinct. Their littlo
clusters of houses found on the south side of
the river were M)0 or loot) feet above tho
water. They were built of stone laid in
mortar, and seem to have had reservoirs of
water. Fragments of their pottery are found,
scattered about in great profusion, and
deeply worn foot-patliB leading from villago
to village, or down to tho rivor or up to the
summit plain, were frequently seen. On tho
northern bend their dwellings were near tho
river. Some of these ruins seem to bo cen
turies old, and others to have been inhabited
by the present generation: tho latter were
found near the mouth of tho Littlo Colorado.
Other ruins and fragments of pottery were
found in the canons above, and away up in
the valley of the Uintah. Only a few villages
of theso interesting people now remain in tho
country to tho southeast.
Lelow this canon the river and adjacent
country had been explored by Mormon par
ties, and here ended the "Great Unknown,"
no longer thus to be designated. Ono party
had crossed through Mormon Valley; another
had brought a skiff down the Grand Wash,
just below, an(l descended with it to tho
mouth of the VirgiU, to C"U'a Landing; and
still others havo passed through the country,
and I found their reports quite correct, ex
cept that they a littlo over-estimated the dis
tances. Alternating valleys and canons wero
passed till we reached tho mouth of tho
Virgin, where wo came upon three
white men dragging a seine. They
proved to be Mormons, who had been
sent on to prepare for a 'large settlement
of people which will be sent hero by tho
Church to build up another of those wonder
ful villages seen only in the "Kingdom." The
whole region was one of great scenic beauty
and grandeur; the constant change in geo
logical structure made a constant change of
Scenery. Tho high walls inclosing a tortuous
river shut oft' the view before, and, as we ad
vanced, it opened out, ever bringing into view
some new beauty or glory. The impression
of this scenery was the rather accented by a
little anxiety, the shadow of a pang of dread
ever present to the mind. '
Of mv nartv. I should like to sav that some
left mo at the start, cutting the number down
to ten, including myself. One left )UG at the
mouth of tho Uintah, three left me as men
tioned above, and the went through. These
were Captain W. 11. Powell, John ('. Sumuer,
George Y. Bradley, W. Rhodes Hawkins, and
Andrew Hall. I append a statement of
