Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Canyon of the Gunnison River is one of the deepest, narrowest, and most inaccessible canyons in the United States. Very few explorers have ever traversed the 53-mile gorge in Gunnison and Montrose Counties. The canyon, one of the nation's wonders, has been the precipitous stage for an exciting history featuring Ute Indians, a narrow-gauge railroad, sensational explorations, and the construction of the Gunnison Tunnel--the first major Bureau of Reclamation project in history. The Black Canyon became a national monument in 1932 and a national park in 1999. Today it remains a crown jewel of Colorado's Western Slope.

Download or read book Deep Black written by Robb Magley and published by Western Reflections Publishing Company. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado's Black Canyon, the nation's newest National Park, is steeper and narrower than the Grand Canyon. There are many places where dangerous rapids fill the entire space between the walls. The Black Canyon was not conquered until 1901 when William Torrence and Abraham Lincoln Fellows completed the first full passage of the canyon using a rubber boat for some portions of the trip. Robb Magley traces the unique history of the Black Canyon, but not content with archival research, the author and a friend took their own adventure on foot through thirty-three miles of the narrow canyon. The adventure required seventy- six river crossings and almost cost them their lives.?We had no food, and no way to purify drinking water. The sun was going down, and we had nothing but shorts, t-shirts, and life jackets to keep us warm. The only piece of gear either of us had left was our river knives, clipped to our life vests in the event we had to free ourselves from a fouled rope. The canyon was getting darker, and we had run out of options.?

Download or read book Colossus written by Michael Hiltzik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-20 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As breathtaking today as the day it was completed, Hoover Dam not only shaped the American West but helped launch the American century. In the depths of the Great Depression it became a symbol of American resilience and ingenuity in the face of crisis, putting thousands of men to work in a remote desert canyon and bringing unruly nature to heel. Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Michael Hiltzik uses the saga of the dam’s conception, design, and construction to tell the broader story of America’s efforts to come to grips with titanic social, economic, and natural forces. For embodied in the dam’s striking machine-age form is the fundamental transformation the Depression wrought in the nation’s very culture—the shift from the concept of rugged individualism rooted in the frontier days of the nineteenth century to the principle of shared enterprise and communal support that would build the America we know today. In the process, the unprecedented effort to corral the raging Colorado River evolved from a regional construction project launched by a Republican president into the New Deal’s outstanding—and enduring—symbol of national pride. Yet the story of Hoover Dam has a darker side. Its construction was a gargantuan engineering feat achieved at great human cost, its progress marred by the abuse of a desperate labor force. The water and power it made available spurred the development of such great western metropolises as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and San Diego, but the vision of unlimited growth held dear by its designers and builders is fast turning into a mirage. In Hiltzik’s hands, the players in this epic historical tale spring vividly to life: President Theodore Roosevelt, who conceived the project; William Mulholland, Southern California’s great builder of water works, who urged the dam upon a reluctant Congress; Herbert Hoover, who gave the dam his name though he initially opposed its construction; Frank Crowe, the dam’s renowned master builder, who pushed his men mercilessly to raise the beautiful concrete rampart in an inhospitable desert gorge. Finally there is Franklin Roosevelt, who presided over the ultimate completion of the project and claimed the credit for it. Hiltzik combines exhaustive research, trenchant observation, and unforgettable storytelling to shed new light on a major turning point of twentieth-century history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In addition to providing an exciting race-against-the clock mystery, this story also provides a chillingly accurate picture of just how vulnerable our energy system really is." -Neil Latimer, Engineering Consultant with 33 years in the Petroleum Industry Randy Thomas, production manager for Montgomery Oil & Gas, learns from a Homeland Security warning that an unidentified employee of the company is working with a terrorist cell to blow up Montgomery's huge Black Canyon gas plant, in western Colorado. Thomas's boss sends him to Grand Junction to identify and stop the terrorist. He races against time, trying to stop the planned explosion that could cause a major disruption in the western U.S. power grid by halting all natural gas flowing from the Western Slope. Thomas soon confronts the murder of a key plant employee that may be tied to his investigation. He must work with the local western-style sheriff, who likes to run his own show, and a tough-minded but beautiful FBI special agent. Little does Thomas know, however, that his own life is in the sights of the unidentified terrorist. But who will step up and diffuse the situation when a massive bomb is found on the Black Canyon plant property? As the entertaining and action-filled story unfolds, Terror at Black Canyon gives insight into the inner workings of a domestic oil and gas exploration and production company and relates author Gene Zimmerman's understanding of the differences between radical fundamentalist and moderate Muslims.

Download or read book Forbidden History written by Leonardo BARRIOS BERETTA and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story is told of the discovery of a cave that contained an underground red tunnels on the Colorado River and that had several ancient objects such as statues, and even mummies. The strangest thing is that it is a too important discovery for the Smithsonian Institute to have no report on these facts. But, ¿What is it that this prestigious institution tries to hide to the world? If this story is real they could be hiding the greatest archaeological discovery in our history. Professor Jordan, the archaeologist Kinkaid and the Smithsonian Institute were the ones who reported the findings on April 5, 1909. But this story is full of gaps, since the Smithsonian Institute was in a survey that was done in the year 2000, strongly denying anything related to the article published on that date about the discovery of that underground city in the Grand Canyon.
