描述
Harold Leich set out on a westward journey in the summer of 1933. His travel narrative details his river trip down the Yellowstone River and the first descent by boat of the upper Colorado River from Grand Lake, Colorado, through Cataract Canyon, Utah. He was the first to push through this entire upper section, running rapids that had never known a paddle, rebuild­ing his kayak along the riverbanks, camping rough, and meeting ranchers and railroad workers in these remote regions. Leich's sudden change of fortune in Cataract Canyon, in the most isolated part of Utah, and his soul searching as he worked his way out of a perilous situ­ation, will speak to anyone who has ventured beyond roads and trails and faced potential tragedy alone.
Alone on the Colorado takes readers on the adventure of running rivers and riding the rails, while painting a unique and optimistic portrait of Depression-era America.

备用描述
"Leich wrote a rich and expressive account of his travels during the Depression--from riding the rails, floating over 200 miles of the Yellowstone River, and finally his attempt to run the Colorado River from its source to the Gulf of Mexico. His writing is wonderfully engaging and this is a grand adventure story to enjoy. He built a kayak and then a wooden boat to run the river. He is the first person known to have run the Colorado River from its source to his unplanned ending in Cataract Canyon. Although the trip ends there and he had to walk out from Hite, Utah, it was his ability to salvage his journal, camera, and film that allows for this wonderful account of his adventure"--Provided by publisher
