{"product_id":"the-last-canyon-9780618257744","title":"The Last Canyon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Both gritty and sublime\" (Seattle Times), The Last Canyon tells the story of John Wesley Powell's 1869 voyage of exploration through the Grand Canyon, the last great expedition of discovery in United States history. In this vivid novel, John Vernon intertwines two stories - that of Powell and his crew, and that of a band of Paiute Indians, known as the Shivwits, who lived on the north rim of the canyon. As the novel moves inexorably toward a violent encounter between the two groups, Vernon deftly leads us into perilous geographical and emotional territory. Powell's adventure is a story of triumph, hardship, bravery, and ultimate loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Vernon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618257744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2002 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVernon, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - JOHN VERNON is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eLa Salle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Lindbergh's Son\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeter Doyle\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e All for Love: Baby Doe and Silver Dollar\u003c\/i\u003e.
