Grand Canyon History

We Swam the Grand Canyon by Bill Beer is a memoir about his and John Daggett's 1955 adventure swimming the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, a legendary and illegal feat they undertook because they couldn't afford a boat. The book humorously recounts their perilous, 26-day journey, detailing their primitive gear (rubber shirts, surplus boxes), the physical and mental challenges, and the humorous mishaps that turned a "cheap vacation" into a famous story of human endurance against nature.
