Y°\ " fn Honor v
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
May day some five
years ago a little group
of notables, among them
Franklin K. Lane, sec
retary of the interior,
Gov. George W. P. Hunt
of Arizona and Bishop
Julius W. Atwood of the
Jw Episcopal church of
7 Arizona, assembled at
Maricopa Po'nt on the rim of the
Grand Canyon and, with Harry It.
Trlttle, sou of former Gov. F. A. Trlt
tle, as master of ceremonies, formally
dedicated a massive monument of na
tive rock, bearing a bronze tablet with
a portrait in bas-relief and these
words:
‘‘Erected by the Congress of the
United States to MaJ. Wesley Powell,
first explorer of the Colorado river,
who descended the river with his
party in row boats, traversing the
gorge beneath this point August 17,
1869, and again September 1, 1872.”
This tardy honor was paid to the
leader of that little band of men who
n half century before had braved the
treacherous red torrent sweeping
along between its rocky walls 5,000
feet below where their memorial now
stands and had accomplished an un
dertaking which men had called im
possible.
The other day another monument
was erected to the Intrepid explorer,
but this time it was far from the
scene of exploit which brought him
fame. It was on the campus of an
institution of higher learning in the
Middle West, Illinois Wesleyan Uni
versity at Bloomington, 111., of which
Powell was an alumnus, and from
which he resigned his position on the
faculty In 1868 to set out on his great
adventure In the Southwest. He never
lost Interest >n his Alma Mater, and
In later years when he was holding
important scientific positions under
the United Stntes government he made
numerous contributions to its museum,
rrhfrh .v\o ro m/vl In bis honor, So It
was particularly appropriate that this
year’s senior class at Wesleyan In
choosing a class memorial to leave at
the university decided upon a monu
ment to the man who not onlj gave
the first scientific impulse to that in
stitution, but who often later guided
and quickened that Interest. The
marker stands at the south entrance
of the main building of the university
and bears this inscription:
In honor of Major J. M. Powell,
professor of natural science, Illi
nois Wesleyan University, 1865-
68. Explorer of the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado, 1867-1872.
Erected by the Class of 1923.
The feat which provided the inspira
tion for the erection of these memo
rials in widely separated parts of the
country was «one of the »w*t brilliant
in the history of American explora
tion and Indirectly it gave to the
American people one of their finest
national parks. Today the citizen of
the United States irho has not seen
the Grand canyon has even begun
to “See America First,” but up to the
time of Pswell’s exploration of the
Colorado river not one American in a
hundred thousand had gazed upon its
wonders.
The first white man to view the
awe-inspiring chasm was Don Garcia
Lopez de Cardenas, a lieutenant of
Coronado, who visited It about 1540,
long before the first English-speaking
peoples had settled on the Atlantic
coast. But for the next 250 years,
the canyon, hidden away in an almost
inaccessible part of the country and
surrounded by a vast desert, attracted
little attention. It may have been
visited by some of the wandering free
trappers who were pushing their way
into every corner of the West within
a score of years after the Louisiana

purchase had given the young repub
lic of the United States a vast trans-
Mississippi empire, but It was not
until March, 182 G, that there Is any
authentic record of another white
man’s eyes resting upon it.
In that month James O. Pattle, who
with his brother Sylvester Pattle
made the first overland trip to Cali
fornia (incldentlly antedating General
Fremont, the famous “Pathfinder,” by
nearly two decades), stood upon the
rim of the canyon. He came not to
admire, as is the custom of travelers
today, but to curse the precipitous
walls because they prevented his
crossing the Colorado in his westward
journey. Besides there were no beaver
to be trapped on the arid plateau
above the canyon and Pattie’s party
was a little band of trappers. So
they followed along the east bank of
the river for 300 miles before they
could find a crossing. Pattie’s visit
is one of historical record but no
more, for the existence of the canyon
did not receive official recognition
until 1857, when It was mentioned In
a report on the navigability of the
Colorado made to the War department
by Lieutenant Joseph C. Ives (later a
colonel in the Confederate army).
Nor was much more heard of it for
another ten years and Powell deter
mined to dispel some of the mystery
surrounding the gigantic gorge by ex
ploring the Colorado river and making
scientific studies of that region. So
he resigned his professorship at Illi
nois Weslyan and, backed by that in
‘ptfptton,. nnd the Chicago Academy of
Sciences, he departed for the Wesi to
organize his expedition. The whole
Story of that thrilling trip is too long
to be told here. Fortunately its perils
and achievements have been ade
quately chronicled by Frederick S.
Dellenbaugh, one of the three surviv
ing members of the party and now an
author of note, in his book, “Breaking
the Wilderness.”
Late in Mdy, 18G9, Powell assem
bled his party in Wyoming on the
Green river, which, by junction with
the Grand river, forms the Colorado,
and started out with these ten men in
four open boats to float down the
river. Long before they reached the
Grand canyon they had lost one of
their boats and with it most of their
instruments and a large part of their
provisions. They had set out with
ten months’ supplies but they were
now reduced to a ten days’ supply of
musty flour, a few’ dried apples and
an abundance of coffee. Undaunted
j>y the experiences they bad already
gone through they entered the can
yon and on August 17 floated past the
point where their memorial now
stands.
For the next two weeks they strug
gled with the raging river, in constant
danger of death from whirlpools and
falls. They lost another boat, but
kept on. Two or three days before
they succeeded In passing through the
canyon three of the party became dis
heartened and abandoned the expedi
tion. only to meet their deaths at the
hands of hostile Indians. This was
the only loss of life on the whole trip
of three months. Powell was not sat
isfied with just one trip through the
canyon and three years later he re
peated the experiment, this time with
less privation than his party had ex
perienced on their pioneer journey.
Powell’s exploits aroused popular
interest, in the grand canyon. In ISSG
Benjamin Harrison, then a senator
from Indiana, introduced a bill creat
ing the Grand Canyon National park.
At that time the national park system
was still in Its beginning. Congress In
1832 had set apart the “Hot Springs
Reservation” in Arkansas. It had, in
1564, granted the Yosemite Valley to
California for a state park. It had
in 1872 created Yellow’Stone —the first
national park In the world. But Ari
zona was a wild Indian country to the
American people and the canyon was
inaccessible by railroad. So the bill
died.
In 1908 President Roosevelt pro
claimed the Grand canyon a national
monument and left it in control of
the recently-organized forest service
of the Agricultural department, which
was in charge of the newly-established
national forests. By that time a rail
road spur had been run to the South
Rim. Visitors became increasingly
numerous and each became a personal
publicity agent for the canyon.
Popular demand on congress for a
national park act became insistent
and nation-wide, but politics blocked
the establishment of the Grand Can
yon National park until. 1919 —just
fifty years after Maj. John Wesley
Powell had risked his life in bringing
to the country’s attention one of the
wonders of the world.
All of Pow’ell’s claim to fame does
not, however, rest upon his career as
an explorer. He had a good record
as a soldier in the Civil war. Born in
New York in 1834, the son of a Meth
odist minister, and educated at Ober
iin, Illinois COi'iege ii-h.;’ IsAG'-.-G’ ii --
leyan, he was teaching school in Illi
nois at the outbreak of the war. He
Immediately enlisted as a private in
the Twentieth Illinois volunteer in
fantry and although he lost his right
arm at the battle of Shiloh, he con
tinued in the service to the end of the
war, coming out of it as lieutenant
colonel of the Second Illinois artillery.
Then he returned to Wesleyan to
teach science, in which he had spe
cialized In college, and remained there
until 1868.
The result of the Colorado river ex
ploration was the appointment of
Powell as director of the United
States geological survey, a position
which he held until 1875. But his
greatest contribution to science was
In the capacity of founder and direct
or of the bureau of American eth
nology which was organized In 1879
and placed by congress under the
supervision of the Smithsonian insti
tution.
Powell set about his work with
characteristic energy and began the
task of classifying the entire ethno
logical field of America and selecting
those subjects that seemed to require
immediate attention. In addition to
directing the work of the bureau, he
continued his writings and some of
them, notably his “Indian Linguistic
Families of America,” are among the
most valuable studies ever made In
the field of ethnology. He was ac
tively In charge of the bureau until
his death September 23, 1*902. The in
calculable value of the studies of the
vanished and vanishing races of
Americans, made by the institution
which he molded, to the United States
government in dealing with the abo
rigines and to the enuse of science In
general is a greater memorial to John
Wesley Powell than any marker of
stone and bronze can ever be.
