The Romance of the Colorado River
The Story of its Discovery in 1540, with an account of the Later
Explorations, and with Special Reference to the Voyages of Powell
through the Line of the Great Canyons.
By Frederick S. Dellenbaugh
Member of the United States Colorado River Expedition of 1871 and 1872
_435 pages, with 200 Illustrations, and Frontispiece in Color. $3.50

“His scientific training, his long experience in this region, and his
eye for natural scenery enable him to make this account of the Colorado
River most graphic and interesting. No other book equally good can be
written for many years to come--not until our knowledge of the river is
greatly enlarged.”--_The Boston Herald._
“Mr. Dellenbaugh writes with enthusiasm and balance about his chief,
and of the canyon with a fascination that make him disinclined to
leave it, and brings him thirty years later to its description with
undiminished interest.”--_New York Tribune._
