Beyond the Hundredth Meridian: John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the West by Wallace Stegner

4.0

At times highly entertaining, at other times boring and could only get through a couple of pages without nodding off. History books for ya. A look at Wesley Powell and his work to understand the West, including the Colorado River, and his fight in Washington to get the government to fund science. Cool time in history, that's for sure!
