Biographical Note
Frederick Dellenbaugh was born in McConnelsvile, Ohio in 1853. He was an artist, explorer, historian, and writer. Most notably he was a member of John Wesley Powell's Second Colorado River Expedition, 1871-1873, as artist and assistant topographer, and later became historian of the expedition and of the Colorado River. In 1899 he joined the Harriman Alaska Expedition as an artist. Dellenbaugh was one of the founder of the Explorers Club, New York. He wrote a number of books, articles, and short stories about the Powell Expedition, Native Americans, and the West.
