Description
Civil War veteran Major John Wesley Powell became a museum curator in 1867. Students will learn about Powells expeditions to the West as he tried to further his studies in geology and in Native American languages. His maps of the Grand Canyon and his writings about the Native Americans he met helped scientists to better understand the West and the people who first lived there.
