Defiance on day 103. | The Ives Expedition of the Colorado River | Best known as the engineer and architect of the Washington Monument, Joseph Ives was promoted to first lieutenant in 1857 so that he could officially lead an expedition up the Colorado River from its mouth in the Gulf of California.

While no full-blown war ever erupted between the United States and Mormon Settlers of Utah, the expedition did mark the first exploration of the Grand Canyon, naming it “Big Canyon of the Colorado,” and offered new and updated information on the people, flora, and fauna of the region. | Size: 15 x 34.75 inches.…
