Description |
Sketch by Richard H. Kern of the Utah desert looking south from the Gunnison expedition's route on 29 September 1853 between the Grand (Colorado) and Green rivers. The Henry Mountains are in the far distance. Shlaer notes that the title is misleading, as the Book Cliffs were behind Kern when he drew this sketch. |
