By Jean Thor Cook
John Wesley Powell's insatiable curiosity led him to explore the area of the US marked "unknown" on maps -- an area he mapped and named the Grand Canyon. Powell was a one-armed Civil War veteran when he led the first expedition down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in 1869.


"We are three-quarters of a mile in the depths of the earth...We have an unknown distance yet to run; an unknown river yet to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what walls rise over the river we know not."

John Wesley Powell
Journal entry August 13, 1869
