He is famous for his 1869 geographic expedition a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers including the first official U.S. government- sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Powell served as second director of the U.S. Geological Survey 1881-1894 and proposed policies that were prescient for his accurate evaluation of conditions. He became the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution while serving as director of the U.S. Geological Survey where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army as a cartographer topographer and military engineer. At the Battle of Shiloh he lost most of his right arm when struck by a Minié ball while in the process of giving the order to fire. Despite the loss of an arm he returned to the Army and was at the battles of Champion Hill Big Black River Bridge and the siege of Vicksburg. Powell was the director of the Bureau of Ethnology from 1879 until his death. Under his leadership the Smithsonian published an influential classification of North American Indian languages This report discussed the field work of Professor Cyrus Thomas on Mound Explorations as well as other field work in the area of stone villages. There is also a discussion of Synonymy of Indian Tribes. This report contains three Accompanying Papers: Indian linguistic families of America north of Mexico by J.W. Powell -- The Mide'wiwin or "Grand Medicine Society" of the Ojibwa By Dr. W. J. Hoffman and The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees by Mr. James Mooney. James Mooney February 10 1861 - December 22 1921 was an American ethnographer who lived for several years among the Cherokee. Known as "The Indian Man" he conducted major studies of Southeastern Indians as well as of tribes on the Great Plains. His most notable works were his ethnographic studies of the Ghost Dance after Sitting Bull's death in 1890 which was a widespread 19th-century religious movement among various Native American culture groups; and his works on the Cherokee: The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees 1891 and Myths of the Cherokee 1900. All were published by the US Bureau of American Ethnology within the Smithsonian Institution. Cyrus Thomas July 27 1825 - June 26 1910 was a U.S. ethnologist and entomologist prominent in the late 19th century and noted for his studies of the natural history of the American West. Thomas is best known for his work in archaeology and ethnology—specifically his contributions to the question of the origin of the mound builders. Government Printing Office hardcover‎

Eric Porter contributed The Canyons of the Colorado--Past and Present. John Wesley Powell March 24 1834 - September 23 1902 was an American geologist U.S. Army soldier explorer of the American West professor at Illinois Wesleyan University and director of major scientific and cultural institutions. He is famous for his 1869 geographic expedition a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers including the first official U.S. government-sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Powell was appointed by US President James A. Garfield to serve as the second director of the U.S. Geological Survey 1881-1894 and proposed for development of the arid West policies that were prescient for his accurate evaluation of conditions. Two years prior to his service as director of the U.S. Geological Survey Major Powell had become the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications. In 1869 he set out to explore the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. Gathering ten men four boats and food for 10 months he set out from Green River Wyoming on May 24. Passing through dangerous rapids the group passed down the Green River to its confluence with the Colorado River then also known as the Grand River upriver from the junction near present-day Moab Utah and completed the journey on August 30 1869. The expedition's route traveled through the Utah canyons of the Colorado River which Powell described in his published diary as having . wonderful features—carved walls royal arches glens alcove gulches mounds and monuments. From which of these features shall we select a name We decide to call it Glen Canyon. In 1875 Powell published a book based on his explorations of the Colorado originally titled Report of the Exploration of the Columbia River of the West and Its Tributaries. It was revised and reissued in 1895 as The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons. Eliot Furness Porter December 6 1901 - November 2 1990 was an American photographer best known for his color photographs of nature. Fairfield Porter introduced his older brother to photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz in about 1930. Stieglitz after seeing Porter's work encouraged Porter to work harder. Finally in 1938 Stieglitz presented Porter's work taken with a Linhof view camera in his New York City gallery An American Place. The exhibit's success prompted Porter to pursue photography full-time. Porter began working with a new color film Kodachrome introduced in 1935 but it presented considerable technical challenges especially for capturing fast-moving birds. Drawing on his chemical engineering and research background Porter experimented extensively until he was able to produce satisfactory images. His bird photographs were exhibited in 1943 the first ever exhibition of color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art New York. His solo exhibition at Limelight Gallery NYC. March 21-April 17 1955 was effectively a retrospective of this work. He served as a director of the Sierra Club from 1965 to 1971. Arrowood Press hardcover‎
