(A)
John Wesley Powell(1834—1902)was a famous explorer of the American West. When he was young, his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham, a self-taught scientist, from whom he received a wide but informal education. Young John learned many things about the natural sciences. But his father preferred him to study religion. The argument continued for three years. Then John decided to leave home to seek further education. He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met. He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east, like Harvard and Yale. But he was too poor to go to them, so he got work as a school teacher in Illinois. Whenever possible, he went on scientific trips of his own.
In 1861, civil war broke out in the United States. John joined the Union forces of the North. At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm. Despite his disability, he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24, 1869.
