Historical NoteReturn to Top
These images were taken by Leslie Emsden during the Eggert-Hatch river expediton down the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1955. The purpose of the expedition was to make the last film of the rivers before construction started on Flaming Gorge and Glen Canyon dams. Emsden accompanied the expedition from Green River, Wyoming, to Green River, Utah, where he left due to illness. The photos were obtained by Sarah Holcombe from Chris Emsden, son of Leslie, in 2007.
