John Wesley Powell 1834-1902 was an American explorer Civil War veteran scientist and public intellectual best known for leading the first successful expeditions through the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon in 1869 and 1871-72. Having lost his right arm at the Battle of Shiloh Powell became a symbol of postwar scientific exploration combining firsthand fieldwork with rigorous analysis of the American West. As second director of the U.S. Geological Survey and longtime head of the Bureau of American Ethnology he argued that western settlement should be planned around watersheds and water availability rather than arbitrary political boundaries.

Powell's 1869 exploration was the first documented expedition to successfully navigate the perilous rapids of the Colorado River through the uncharted Grand Canyon. The expedition set off in 1869 with ten men and four boats under the direction of one-armed American explorer and Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell 1834-1902. After three months and nearly 1000 miles only five of the original party emerged from the depths of the canyon. Their historic journey mapped the last wild untamed river of the American West and named the last unknown regions of American geography. The Henry Mountains and the Dirty Devil River were until the Powell expedition the last nameless mountain range and river in the continental U.S. Carl Wheat writes in "Mapping the Transmississippi West 1850-1861" "As a narrative of adventure this book of 1875 is one of the most justly celebrated documents in the literature of exploration." In recognition of Powell's contributions to American exploration geology and ethnology he was appointed the first director of the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution. He also served as director of the U.S. Geological Survey from 1881 to 1894. Powell Plateau a butte in Grand Canyon National Park is named after him as is Lake Powell. Howes P525. Farquhar 42a.
