Listen to history come alive as Clay Jenkinson presents his portrayal of John Wesley Powell, one-armed veteran of the Civil War and explorer of the West. Major John Wesley Powell was 35 years old when he led his first expedition through the Grand Canyon. He was the principal force in expanding geologic studies and topographic mapping throughout the country and in stimulating investigations of soil, ground water, rivers, flood control, and irrigation. Powell was a veteran of the Civil War who lost his right arm in the Battle of Shiloh, a teacher, and a geologist. Powell also had a great interest in the Indian people of the west and learned six Indian languages throughout this lifetime of exploring and charting the new Southwestern territory and is considered to be the most famous explorer of the West since Lewis and Clark. -- Clay Jenkinson has dedicated the better part of his life to researching the historical characters he portrays and to defining the “living theatre” of Chautauqua.
