The American Experience Lost in the Grand Canyon DVD is a historical and visual treasure. In the spring of 1869, Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell, led an expedition down the Colorado River into the last uncharted territory in the United States. Ninety-nine days later, Powell emerged from the Grand Canyon after one of the most daring journeys in American history in which crew members disappeared never to be heard from again. This American Experience film is an account of the dramatic quest to explore one of the most unforgiving, and breathtakingly beautiful, places on earth. American Experience: Lost in the Grand Canyon is an account of one man's journey to discover one of the last Great Unknowns. The beauty of the Grand Canyon was only matched by the dangers it presented to surveyors.
