Raven's Exile: A Season on the Green River

Raven's Exile: A Season on the Green River by Ellen Meloy. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780816522934.

More than a century after John Wesley Powell launched his boat on the Green River, Ellen Meloy spent eight years of seasonal floats through Utahs Desolation Canyon with her husband, a federal river manager. She came to know the history and natural history of this place well enough to call it home, and has recorded her observations in a book that is as wide-ranging as the river and as wild as the wilderness through which it runs.
