“A significant contribution to the field of river history. Eggert has written an engaging account. He makes the various members of the party come alive as characters and he explains well the vicissitudes, problems, and joys of the journey. I found myself wanting to read on.”
—James Aton, author of The River Knows Everything: Desolation Canyon and the Green and John Wesley Powell: His Life and Legacy
“This book is a contribution to the history of exploration on the upper Colorado River, composed as it is of literature, adventure, a bit of sociology, and (harkening to the 1950s) modern history.”
—Earle Spamer, co-editor of Bibliography of the Grand Canyon and Lower Colorado River from 1540
“The Last Canyon Voyage is more than a river book. It’s a book that reminds us of what rivers do for us emotionally and spiritually. It’s their beauty, solitude, wildness, and shared fun and hardships that bond us together.”
—Boatman’s Quarterly Review
