Ninety-nine days later, after one of the most daring journeys in American history, John Wesley Powell emerged from the Grand Canyon to become a contemporary American hero. In the following years Powell led several geological and ethnological explorations in Arizona and Utah under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution.
