Historical Sites in Glen Canyon Mouth of San Juan River to Lee's Ferry
No full textJournal: Anthropological Notes, University of Utah Department of Anthropology, "Historical Sites in Glen Canyon, Mouth of San Juan River to Lee's Ferry", Number 46, June 1960, page vPREFACE
This work follows an introductory volume, Outline History of the Glen Canyon Region, 1776-1922, the first general reconstruction of the history of an area encompassing southeastern Utah, a part of northeastern Arizona, and smaller parts of southwestern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico. That volume was written to provide a brief but broad historical perspective for the studies to follow, for other investigators working in the same region, and for the general public who will be visiting the region in greater numbers with the passage of time.
This volume consists of a detailed study of the historical sites in Glen Canyon below the mouth of the San Juan River: every place here labeled a historical site, with the exception of those between Glen Canyon Dam and Lee's Ferry, will be wholly or partly submerged by the waters of Lake Powell, or will literally stand upon its shore at maximum reservoir level.
The primary objective of the study has been to learn what historical areas and remains will be covered up by the waters of the reservoir. The view was expressed in the first volume that Glen is the most historic of the canyons of the Colorado and that virtually the entire historic locale of the mining rush as an example-will be inundated. But how extensive was the historical occupancy of Glen Canyon? And what, precisely, remains in the canyon to document this occupancy?
The answers have been found by use of the following method:
(1) Through documentary research, and from informants, to develop information about the history and location of places where there has been substantial human activity in the canyon in historic times, including both Indian and Anglo-American sites.
(2) It is false to assume that complete knowledge about any place in Glen Canyon may be obtained solely from the documents. The second step consists of historical salvage: the examination of historical places in Glen Canyon in order to record the character of each, its exact location, the kind and degree to which human action has taken place, the extent of historical remains, and anything at all about a place which might be of interest to future investigators who must rely upon these findings.

The Domínguez-Escalante Expedition
The recorded history of Glen Canyon opens in 1776 when the Spanish exploring party, headed by two Franciscan friars, Francisco Atanasio Domínguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante, crossed the Colorado River at the place later known as El Vado de los Padres, or as the Crossing of the Fathers, its present designation. Documentary research in Spanish records, particularly those pertaining to New Mexico, whence the approach most probably would have been made, may uncover earlier references to the canyon but it seems unlikely. Once New Mexico was firmly established, by 1610, Spain was sorely pressed much of the time thereafter to preserve the province from attack by the Indian tribes surrounding it and within it. Control of northern New Mexico was lost altogether when the Pueblos revolted in 1680 and it was not regained for another seventeen years. Spain had little time or treasure to extend the earlier explorations of Coronado, Espejo, and Oñate, however strong the attractions of the unexplored country northwest of New Mexico may have been. Once Alta, California was suceessfully occupied by Spain in 1769 some attempts were made to connect it with New Mexico. The Domínguez-Escalante expedition is the most noteworthy of those ventures.
No attempt is made here to follow the route of those Spanish pioneers on their great circle of exploration which began and ended at Santa Fe and carried them through the four modern states of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Rrizona. This has been done a number of times and it is beyond the scope of this report. It is enough to say, that, although they did not reach their goal in California, the Spaniards added immensely to the knowledge of the vast area they explored; it is highly probably that they discovered Glen Canyon as they worked their way back to Santa Fe from the point of returning near Cedar City, Utah.
Domínguez and Escalante first reached the Colorado River at the location where nearly a hundred years later John D. Lee established a ferry (Historical site 19). They were probably the first white men to visit the place where they camped from October 26 through November 1 at the base of the gray ledges of rock on the left bank of the Paria River at its mouth, called by them the Rio Santa Teresa (Historical site 20).

Historical Sites in Glen Canyon Mouth of San Juan River to Lee's Ferry

Andrus in 1866 did not cross the river but he learned that the Navajos had escaped a short time before by crossing on the ice. (See Historical site 9).
The 1869 Powell expedition camped (camp no. 23) at Cane Bar August 3. The explorers left Music Temple (Historical site 32) early that morning; Jack Summer killed one of two mountain sheep they saw enroute on the south side of the river, and camped feeling much better about life for they were nearing the end of their rations. They had come during the day 33 miles (actually 35) Sumner and Bradley both state in their journals. Sumner says they camped on the north side of the river near a small clear stream in a narrow canyon and Powell adds that they were camped just above it. Powell and Bradley, in their entries for August 3, 1869, both mention that they stopped for the night where there had been an Indian camp; Sumner adds the detail that the north side of the bar is broken and easy to get out with ponies. Sumner in fact says that he thinks they are camped at the "old Ute Crossing between Utah w. Colorado and New Mexico," and that the trail may have come down to the river by way of Kane Creek. This statement, which Sumner probably added to his diary later, may be taken as an argument that the Ute Ford is at the mouth of Kane Creek and is not identical with the Crossing of the Fathers a mile and one half below. I think it may not be taken for evidence that the 1869 party camped at the Crossing of the Fathers for Powell specifically mentions they were above the stream, not below it which would have been the case had they been located at the right bank approach to the Crossing of the Fathers below Navajo Canyon. There is, indeed, a likelihood that a crossing is possible from Cane Bar to the left bank (see below).
Powell's party came through Glen Canyon just as the Navajo-Mormon war was reaching a climax. James Andrus and a large force of the territorial militia had rearched Navajo Canyon in March, 1869, in pursuit of Navajo raiders and sometime in the fall, Jacob Hamblin said later, a Navajo raiding party forded the river at the Crossing of the Fathers with 1200 to 1500 head of stock stolen from the Mormons (see Historical site 9). Powell saw no Indians at Cane Bar in 1869 but while camped at the same place on the 1871 voyage, a peaceful party of Navajos with a chief, Agua Grande, appeared.
