科罗纳多CORONADO

我对约翰·韦斯利·鲍威尔没有任何不满。我只是觉得他不应该被捧为第一个发现这条河流和峡谷的人，并且后来成为了塔萨扬Imax放映会上的明星。天哪，他比科罗纳多那帮人晚了300年，而且是在加州淘金热之后。的确，他在乘木筏顺流而下时只剩下一只手臂，另一只在内战中失去了。所以他确实是一个了不起的人。但我觉得他有点疯狂。就一个手臂了，我是不会去做这些的。
I don’t have anything against John Wesley Powell. I just don’t think he should be lionized as the first guy to notice the river and the canyon and end up the star at the Imax show in Tusayan. Hell, he was 300 years after Coronado’s guys, and after the California gold rush at that. It’s true he only had one arm left when he rafted down the river, having lost the other in the Civil War. So he had to be one heck of a guy. But he sounds a little crazy to me. . I wouldn’t have done it, not with one arm.

他是一名业余博物学家，得到了伊利诺斯州自然历史协会的资助，进行了一次西部标本采集之旅。当他在科罗拉多的格兰德湖时，他对下游的情况很感兴趣，1869年，他和他的伙伴们乘坐木船在格兰德河上做了一个漂流，来到了格林湖，然后沿着科罗拉多河继续顺流而下。当时还没有发明橡胶和充气筏。我可能会错过那段旅行，但是还好，一些地图被纠正过来了。
Any who, he was an amateur naturalist who got the Illinois Natural History Society to sponsor him on a specimen collection excursion to the west. While he was at Grand Lake, Colorado, he got intrigued with what might be downstream and, in 1869 he and his buds did a float in wood boats down the Grand River to the Green, and on down the Colorado. Rubber/inflatable rafts hadn’t been invented yet, and I don’t mind saying I might have skipped that trip. The result was that some maps got straightened out.

作者华莱士·厄尔·斯泰格纳的著作《超越第一百条经线：约翰·韦斯利·鲍威尔》和《西部的第二次开发》详细描述了这位环保主义者的努力，当时他的环保主义并不比他对美国印第安文化的兴趣更受欢迎。奥拉发现了这个人......获得书籍
Author Wallace Earle Stegner’s book Beyond the Hundredth Meridian: John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the West details the efforts of this environmentalist at a time when his environmentalism wasn’t any more popular than his interest in American Indian culture.

我很喜欢他。约翰·韦斯利·鲍威尔纪详细描述了这位环保主义者的努力，当时他的环保主义并不比他对美国印第安文化的兴趣更受欢迎。奥拉发现了这个人......念博物馆里有一艘鲍威尔木船的复制品，他当时驾着这艘船是在水坝建起了之前沿着科罗拉多河顺流而下的。
I do dig him. John Wesley Powell Memorial Museum includes a replica of the wood boat Powell used to travel down the Colorado River before any dams existed.

木头。在一个充气橡胶船的地方已经够糟糕的了。
Wood. - It’s bad enough in an air filled rubber dingy.
