Exploration of the Colorado River of the West and Its Tributaries
John Wesley Powell · Government Printing Office (Washington), published under direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution · 1875
Powell rewrote and reissued the narrative in 1895, in a popularized form, as "Canyons of the Colorado" (Flood & Vincent, Meadville, Pennsylvania) -- a different text from the 1875 government report. The now-common title "The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons" belongs to Dover Publications' 1961 unabridged reprint of that 1895 text, not to the 1875 first edition or to the 1895 original.
