The canyon is known as Westwater. Its popularity is largely due to the thrill provided by one of the most dangerous and challenging stretches of white water on the Colorado, especially Skull Rapid. Near the head of the canyon are the remnants of the village of Westwater, which has had an interesting and eventful history of its own because of the river and canyon, the railroad that passes through, and especially its remoteness. Writing the Ancestral Pueblo Homeland JARED BARMER Arizona's War Town LOST And Found in these new paperbacks from Arizona... Over the years this place has attracted more than its fair share of colorful characters— explorers and surveyors, boosters and get-rich-quick dreamers, cattle and sheep men, outlaws and bootleggers, and of course, river runners. Mike Milligan, who came to know the area as a river guide, has written a thorough history of this out-of-theway place. While its lively history is interesting in and of itself, Westwater’s significance derives more from a phenomenon of the modern West—thousands of adventurous _fiver recreationists. They have pushed a backwater place into the foreground of the West's popular culture. Westwater’s history cycled through use by Native Americans; late exploration and settlement by non- “Indians; brief ranching and farming success; other sporadic, unsuccessful attempts at d t; and renewed obscurity. Modern rediscovery through outdoors recreation has brought a great number of people into thousands of similarly remote corners of the West. Mike Milligan has captured the still developing story of one of those remote, but no longer as secluded, corners of the Colorado Plateau. 2 Depot, and World War II JOHN S.
