Featured Excerpts

"In modern terms, the magazine was the ultimate “influencer” of its time. It became a portal to places and people never seen before, at least by those who had access to its pages. It stoked curiosity and a spirit of adventure in its readers, and in a few, the desire to see those places for themselves, perhaps even make their own discoveries that one day might be publicized behind that simple yellow-framed cover. 1 In short, National Geographic was the spotlight that revealed what was hidden in the shadows of the 19th century. "
— From Chapter 1: Chapter Name
"At first, the magazine was simply a sporadically published academic journal, heavy on science, written in floridly obtuse prose with no photographs. By 1900, its circulation was still only 25,000, small even for that time. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and son-in-law of the first president of the National Geographic Society, fundamentally changed its trajectory."

Reviews & Testimonials

"A masterwork of historical and geographical documentation. John's book is an objective, detailed, and beautifully written record of one of America's lost wonders, and a critical guide to its potential recovery."

— Utah Historical Quarterly

"Uncovered is an invaluable resource for hydrologists, conservationists, and desert explorers alike. The maps and photographic comparisons are unmatched in their accuracy."

— Western Historical Review

"A powerful blend of scientific inquiry and deeply personal field notes. John reminds us that history is not static, and the story of Glen Canyon is far from finished."

— The Desert Writers Guild
