David Roberts (1943–2021) is the author of thirty books on mountaineering, exploration, and anthropology. His books have won the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature and the Grand Prize at the Banff Mountain Book Competition.
An amiably discursive, often beguiling entry in what has become a venerable literary form: the expedition in pursuit of an expedition. Roberts knows his Southwestern history, and he knows how to craft an artful sentence. -- Philip Connors - New York Times Book Review Superbly written, Escalante's Dream is a multidirectional literary and historical exploration of the unknown American Southwest. -- Bruce Berger - Wall Street Journal A luminous work of exploration, both personal and historical, written by one of my very favorite writers of the American Southwest. -- Douglas Preston, best-selling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God and Cities of Gold
