This bibliography provides citations and annotations for the works by and about John Wesley Powell.

The publications, addresses, and official documents of explorer and scientist John Wesley Powell comprise a body of work representing many of the great historical movements and intellectual landscapes of 19th century America. Powell's work yields an astonishing array of contributions to geology, geography, anthropology and ethnography, environmental history, Native American Studies, and natural science. Specifically, there are important social and political issues connected to Powell—the fate of the indigenous people of North America, the role of the federal government in the affairs of western states, conservation of natural resources, and historical interpretation of the settlement of the American West.

This annotated bibliography consists of two sections. The first is a comprehensive bibliography of Powell's writings and includes all of Powell's monographs, including government reports, and articles in popular magazines and scientific journals, as well as the important published and unpublished administrative records and correspondence, excerpts from Congressional testimony, public addresses, and collections of archival and manuscript materials. The second section consists of selected references for published biographical material, articles, essays, non-print material, Internet resources, and monographs about Powell's life and work.

Reviews
[T]homas offers a bibliography that is a model of organization and clarity and brings order to Powell's works, which are varied, large in number, often poorly documented, and include multiple publications of the same work. Besides articles and monographs, the bibliography includes congressional testimony, archival records, manuscripts, forewords, and speeches....Highly recommended. All collections.—Choice

This generously annotated and clearly organized bibliography includes primary, both published and unpublished, and secondary sources ranging from articles in magazines to scholarly monographs, dissertations, and Internet resources. This bibliography is especially useful in its organization of Powell's writings in their many venues: from government reports and Congressional hearings to newspaper articles, speeches, correspondence proceedings.—Reference & User Services Quarterly
