The History of the River Runners of the Grand Canyon
Using a visually rich and colorful presentation, Todd Weber, dressed as J.W. Powell, carries his listeners along a historical time line. Beginning with a Hopi legend, he takes his audience through the years of human history in the Grand Canyon to the river- runners of today. He recounts the fascinating experiences of those who have been drawn to the wonders and adventures of the Colorado River as it weaves its' way through the Canyon. Highlighted by tales of the John Wesley Powell expedition, the ambitions of industrialists and the mystery of the Hydes disappearance, Todd uncovers the centuries of human history buried in the austere and beautiful walls below the rim. Audiences will come away with new insight into the many fascinating people who have braved the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, and the many and varied reasons they had for doing so.

John Wesley Powell (1834-1902)
Surrounded by trunks and cargo, John Wesley Powell is seated at a small camp desk, writing a letter, to his wife, Emma, the night before embarking on his 1869 journey of exploration into the "Great Unknown". Preparing to face the perils and the mysteries of the Grand Canyon, he contemplates aloud what may lay ahead, the colorful crew members accompanying him, and his thoughts of when he will see her again. Insightful and entertaining, this presentation puts the listener into the mind of a man who is both anticipating and fearing what he is facing. It helps one to imagine what it may feel like upon entering uncharted lands, and to appreciate the bravery and fortitude of those who have. Q/A session will follow.
