Synopsis
During the fall and winter of 1911–12, pioneering Grand Canyon photographers Ellsworth and Emery Kolb rowed down the Green and Colorado Rivers through the Grand Canyon. Remarkably, they brought a newfangled motion-picture camera along for the ride and became the first to record the Grand Canyon on film. The resulting movie was shown at the Grand Canyon for some sixty years, and Ellsworth Kolb wrote a vivid account of the adventure in Through the Grand Canyon from Wyoming to Mexico, first published in 1914.
This new edition of one of the earliest accounts of running the Green and Colorado Rivers contains the original text and photographs, appearing as they did in the first edition of the book. All of the characters and cataracts are here, as the Kolb brothers persevered through multiple mishaps and fickle weather during their remarkable journey. Their story is one of the classic adventure tales of the American West.

About the Author
ELLSWORTH L. KOLB moved to Needles, California, shortly after the making of the film, but continued his work on the Colorado, teaming up with a barnstormer to pilot the first plane ever to fly in and out of the Grand Canyon. He passed away in 1961 at the age of 83. His brother Emery Kolb took the movie on the road but returned to the Canyon and served as lead boatman for a United States Geological Survey expedition through the Grand Canyon to map and survey the gorge in 1923. He continued to photograph tourists along Bright Angel Trail until his death in 1976 at the age of 95.
