Download or read book The River Knows Everything written by James M Aton and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desolation Canyon is one of the West's wild treasures. Visitors come to study, explore, run the river, and hike a canyon that is deeper at its deepest than the Grand Canyon, better preserved than most of the Colorado River system, and full of eye-catching geology-castellated ridges, dramatic walls, slickrock formations, and lovely beaches. Rafting the river, one may see wild horses, blue herons, bighorn sheep, and possibly a black bear. Signs of previous people include the newsworthy, well-preserved Fremont Indian ruins along Range Creek and rock art panels of Nine Mile Canyon, both Desolation Canyon tributaries. Historic Utes also pecked rock art, including images of graceful horses and lively locomotives, in the upper canyon. Remote and difficult to access, Desolation has a surprisingly lively history. Cattle and sheep herding, moonshine, prospecting, and hideaways brought a surprising number of settlers--ranchers, outlaws, and recluses--to the canyon.

Download or read book Around Boulder City written by Cheryl Ferrence and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original planners of Boulder City, Nevada, did not expect that the community of workers and engineers would outlast the construction of the great Hoover Dam. The subsequent years challenged this assumption, however, as Boulder City continued to grow and thrive even after the dam was completed and the waters of the Colorado River were harnessed. As more families took road trips to visit the dam and other southwestern attractions, Boulder City became a tourism hub. Shops, restaurants, and hotels, including the famous Boulder Dam Hotel, were built, and even more visitors flocked to the nearby Lake Mead National Recreation Area after its establishment in 1964. Elton M. Garrett aptly described the city in the masthead of his newspaper, the Boulder Dam Challenge, in 1936: "Boulder City Carries On With Spirit With Which Boulder Dam Challenged Rio Colorado."

Download or read book Speak Plainly God written by Arden Christopherson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally I had planned on naming this book "Ninety Days to Glory." By revelation of the Holy Spirit I was told to name the book "Speak Plainly God" as God would use my book to answer the cry of many to learn how to hear Him speak plainly in their daily lives. The greatest miracle I personally received was at the end of my own ninety-day transformation. A miracle occurred in heaven that was shared by others as a witness to God's commitment and love for those who overcome the obstacles of this world. Jesus appeared to me in the form of the Morning Star. The events that followed have led to the writing of this book. If you seek Him with an open mind and heart, He has promised through scripture to appear to you as well. II Peter 1:19, 21 Verse 19: And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and The Morning Star rises in your hearts. Verse 21: For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Revelation 22:16 Verse 16: I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David and the Bright Morning Star. Revelations 2:26, 28 Verse 26: To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations. Verse 28: I WILL ALSO GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR.
