Softcover. Condizione: Like New. First Edition. Some slight edgewear at spine. Signed "George T. Henry". Signed copies rarely offered, particularly without personalized inscription. An autobiographical memoir and photographic retrospective that chronicles George T. Henry?s career as a commercial whitewater river guide and boatman. It describes the evolution of commercial river running and the technical grit required to steer heavy wooden and inflatable boats through high-stakes rapids on waterways like the Green River and the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument. A major focal point of the book is Henry's collection of anecdotes guiding famous American dignitaries. It provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at his multi-day rafting trips with Robert F. Kennedy, his family, and other mid-century political icons and astronauts who sought refuge and adventure in the Western wilderness. George Taylor Henry (1923 ? 2024) was a celebrated commercial photographer, World War II veteran, and avid whitewater river guide. In the outdoor community, Henry is remembered as a pioneer of the golden age of commercial whitewater rafting in the American West. Signed by Author. Codice articolo SKU2020028889
