Down the Colorado: The Story of John Wesley Powell, the one-armed explorer

Ray, Deborah Kogan. Down the Colorado: The Story of John Wesley Powell, the One-Armed Explorer. New York: Francis Foster Books, 2007.

Down the Colorado is about Wes Powell's life. Wes Powell was one of the first people to travel down the Colorado River. One of the things I liked about this book was the pictures. They look like they're done with watercolors and oil pastels. Most of the pictures are vivid and can tell more about the story than the words can. I would recommend this book to someone who likes biographies about people who go on dangerous journeys.
