9. Adams, Eilean. HELL OR HIGH WATER. James White's Disputed Passage through Grand Canyon, 1867. Utah State University Press, Logan, 2001, 220pp., illus., references. Although John Wesley Powell and party are usually given credit for the first river descent through the Grand Canyon, the ghost of James White has haunted those claims. White was a Colorado prospector, who, almost two years before Powell’s journey, washed up on a makeshift raft at Callville, Nevada. His claim to have entered the Colorado above the San Juan River with another man (soon drowned) as they fled from Indians was widely disseminated and believed for a time, but Powell and his successors on the river publicly discounted it. Colorado River runners and historians have since debated whether White’s passage through Grand Canyon even could have happened. Hell or High Water is the first full account of White’s story and how it became distorted and he disparaged over time. It is also a fascinating detective story, recounting how White’s granddaughter, Eilean Adams, over decades and with the assistance of a couple of notable Colorado River historians who believed he could have done what he claimed, gradually uncovered the record of James White’s adventure and put together a plausible narrative of how and why he ended up floating helplessly down a turbulent river, entrenched in massive cliffs, with nothing but a driftwood raft to carry him through.

45. Blackstock, Alan (edited by). THE GREEN RIVER READER. University of Utah Press, Salt Lake City, 2005, 8vo., wraps, 240pp., illus. Beginning above Flaming Gorge Dam in southwestern Wyoming, the Green River traverses the complete variety of terrain on the Colorado Plateau before joining the Colorado River above Cataract Canyon in southeastern Utah. Like its more famous cousin, the Colorado, the Green has captivated, capsized, and cajoled all types of characters with challenges and beauty to match its geologic variety. In The Green River Reader, editor Blackstock brings this mysterious, magnificent, thrilling river to the reader with an interpretive guide that will inform both river novices and river veterans. Assembled here is every significant written testament to this "awesome ditch," from Domínguez-Escalante to Kit Carson and John C. Frémont; to contemporary American naturalists and writers including Wallace Stegner, Bernard DeVoto, David Brower, Ann Zwinger, Ellen Melloy, and Edward Abbey. Those with a story to tell—those who trapped the Green’s beavers, endured its wild rapids, were humbled by its imposing canyon walls, fought for its beautiful landscapes, or whose “pulse was hurried” by the “lofty chasms, walled in by precipices of red rock”—are collected here.

Privately produced in a second edition of 275 copies numbered and signed. This is an account of the exploration and use of the first federally-funded wagon road in the Southwest. The route was marked in 1857-58 from Fort Smith, Arkansas to the Colorado River by the colorful Lieutenant Edward F. Beale. It was in Arizona on this expedition that he successfully conducted the Army's famous experiment in using Arabian camels. Emigrant wagon trains followed the road in 1858 only to be repulsed by Indians; Fort Mojave was established on the river to protect travelers. Gold was discovered at Lynx Creek (near Prescott) and Beale's Road drew gold-seekers from the coast as well as from the mid-west. Large cattle and sheep drives soon followed with increased emigrant traffic until the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad (Santa Fe) followed in Beale's tracks in 1883. Today Highway 66 and Interstate 40 follow much of Beale's Road to Southern California.
