Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker and other titles Outdoors-Magazine.com http://outdoors-magazine.com Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker and other titles Schwert - Skills and guides - Library - Publication: Thursday 3 August 2006 Description : The Complete Walker and Colin Fletcher's other nine books are reviewed. The author also weaves in some of his early backpacking experiences. Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/21 Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker and other titles This review will touch on Colin Fletchers works, classics of backpacking how-to and enjoyment. Colin had a profound impact on my early backpacking days and has remained one of my favorite authors. In some respects his work reminds me of Calvin Rutstrum...a couple of decades more modern, and instrumental in the new age of backpacking, but still having a mixture of how-to with wonderful books of dream trips that utilized his techniques. It is likely that most readers of this site are well acquainted with Fletcher's Complete Walker in at least one of its derivations, but his other less popular works are excellent in their own right and well worth seeking out. This review will touch on these ten publications: The Thousand Mile Summer in Desert and High Sierra The Man Who Walked Through Time The Complete Walker The Winds of Mara The New Complete Walker The Man from the Cave The Complete Walker III Secret Worlds of Colin Fletcher River: One Man's Journey Down the Colorado, Source to Sea The Complete Walker IV with Chip Rawlins Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 2/21 Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker and other titles Colin Fletcher Bookshelf My catalog But first a bit of background.... -
In This Issue USMC Wounded Warrior “A TALE of TWO BOATS”
Number Sixteen preserving public access to the Colorado River Winter, 2013 A Tale of Two Boats By Gaylord Staveley Based on excerpts from a forthcoming book on the human history of the Colorado River system and the Grand Canyon. Fifteen years after Major John Wesley Powell’s voyage of discovery down the mainstem Green and Colorado rivers and through Grand Canyon, a thirty year old trapper named Nathaniel Galloway began boating the smaller rivers that ran tributary to the Green in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. In 1891 he tackled the rapids-filled gorges of Red Canyon, the Canyon of Lodore, a one hundred twenty-five mile section of the Green that end-runs the Uintas and comes back into the Uinta Basin near Vernal, Utah. After running those challenging waters a couple of times, he began looking for a new river. In 1895 he and a companion, probably one of his sons, ran the Green down to the head of Cataract Canyon and then rowed and dragged back upstream to Moab, Utah. In 1896, on a repeat run of the upper gorges, he encountered two prospectors who had gotten boat-wrecked in a formidable rapid called Ashley falls (now buried about two miles up-reservoir from Flaming Gorge Dam). Galloway and one of the men, William Richmond, decided to throw in together and run all the way down the rivers, as Powell had done. Trapping and prospecting as they went, it took them almost five months to go from Jensen, Utah to Needles, California, much of it in the dead of winter. -

Roger Brown. JF: Jack Fulton. WH: Wes Hildreth. GM: Gail Mahood. DF: Diane Fulton. JYF: Judy Fierstein. TM: Thank you.

He revealed a world Americans didn’t know was out there and by doing so, multitudes took to the wilderness to see it for themselves. In 1958, decades before anyone heard the term thru-hiker, he walked the length of California. Five years later he became the first person to traverse Grand Canyon National Park in one arduous, solitary journey, and, at age 69, became the first to travel the entirety of the Colorado River in a single craft. Each of these feats generated a book. Fletcher enchanted and enlightened millions of readers with his immense knowledge, curmudgeonly wit, unique style, and strongly conservationist views. -
