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
