The old records describe a chasm which seemed to be more than 3 or 4 leagues across in an air line \"que auia mas de tres o quatro leguas por el ayre.\" For a long period thereafter the Grand Canyon region and the Colorado River remained practically unknown. It is next recorded as having been seen by two Spanish priests in 1776; Padre Garces, crossing eastward from the lower Colorado to the Hopi towns, halted, he says, \"at the sight of the most profound box canyons which ever onward continue, and within these flows the Colorado,\" and Padre Escalante, who in searching for a place to cross from the north after his failure to proceed westward from Santa Fe to Monterey, finally found the old Ute ford, used by Indians for centuries, near the foot of Glen Canyon (in latitude 37°), and by means of it was able to reach Zuni. The ford then became known as El Vado de los Padres — the Crossing of the Fathers — for long the only known crossing of the Colorado in a distance of several hundred miles. The first American to visit the region was James 0. Pattie, accompanied by his father, They trapped beaver on the lower Colorado in 1825 and '26. In 1826, returning eastward, they traveled for 13 days, following, apparently, the Grand Canyon as well as they could, but unable to reach the river at any point, till at last they arrived at a place where the river \"emerges from these horrid mountains.\" This was the first extended trip on record of any human being along the brink of the Grand Canyon. The same year that the Patties went to the lower Colorado, 1825, General Ashley, in pursuit of his furtrading enterprise, attempted to descend Green River from near the present crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad. He was forced after great hardship to give up the effort in the Uinta Valley. The famous American trapper and pioneer, Jedediah Smith, crossed the river going west in the Mohave Country in 1826 and again in 1827. In this latter year the Patties returned to the lower Colorado and trapped down the river from the mouth of the Gila in dugouts, the first navigators of this portion since Alarcon, of the Coronado expedition, came up in 1840. Quite unexpectedly they made the acquaintance of the great bore at the mouth of the river where they were in waters that Lieutenant Hardy, of the British Navy, had entered the year before. Other trappers after beaver then followed into the region, and the Government began sending out exploring parties. One of these under Sitgreaves crossed the Colorado in 1851 about 150 miles above Yuma, and three year'. later another under Whipple, surveying for a railway along the thirty-fifth parallel, crossed a few miles above the mouth of Bill Williams Fork.","PeriodicalId":181385,"journal":{"name":"Black Mesa Basin, northeastern Arizona","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124396407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
