| Comment |
Frank Mason Brown led an 1889 expedition down the Colorado River to test practicality of building a railroad route. He drowned near the head of the Grand Canyon, and Robert Brewster Stanton took over the expedition. --See "A brief history of Grand Canyon river running," website: http://www.adventuresports.com/wwraft/gcroa/Pages/history.htm |
