Down the Colorado: John Wesley Powell, the One-Armed Explorer by Deborah Kogan Ray, 2007 (917.91 RAY)
Each spread describes an episode or period of Powell’s life (1834 – 1902), accompanied with full-page illustration. The watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil illustrations are better showing the canyons than the people. Includes map, author’s note, chronology, and bibliography. You could read this book within a class period. One or more spread could be used as a lesson opener.
