520    In the summer of 1938, botanists Elzada Clover and Lois 
       Jotter set off to run the Colorado River, accompanied by 
       an ambitious and entrepreneurial expedition leader, a 
       zoologist, and two amateur boatmen. With its churning 
       waters and treacherous boulders, the Colorado was famed as
       the most dangerous river in the world. Journalists and 
       veteran river runners boldly proclaimed that the motley 
       crew would never make it out alive. But for Clover and 
       Jotter, the expedition held a tantalizing appeal: no one 
       had yet surveyed the plant life of the Grand Canyon, and 
       they were determined to be the first. Through the vibrant 
       letters and diaries of the two women, science journalist 
       Melissa L. Sevigny traces their daring forty-three-day 
       journey down the river, during which they meticulously 
       cataloged the thorny plants that thrived in the Grand 
       Canyon's secret nooks and crannies. Along the way, they 
       chased a runaway boat, ran the river's most fearsome 
       rapids, and turned the harshest critic of female river 
       runners into an ally. Clover and Jotter's plant list, 
       including four new cactus species, would one day become 
       vital for efforts to protect and restore the river 
       ecosystem. Brave the Wild River is a spellbinding 
       adventure of two women who risked their lives to make an 
       unprecedented botanical survey of a defining landscape in 
       the American West.
