1
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: The Colorado River emerges as a tiny stream high in

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: a rocky mountain meadow. From that inauspicious beginning, it rolls

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: and roams across fifteen hundred miles of the western United States.

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: By the time it discharges its power in the Gulf

5
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: of California, it has flowed through a world forever altered

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: by its passing. Chief among its creations is the mild

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: deep wound in the lime and sandstone of Arizona. Over millennia,

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: it has carved down and down into the soft sedimentary rock,

9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: sculpting the giant natural cleft we now call the Grand Canyon.

10
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: The Grand Canyon has long been a place of wonder,

11
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: inhabited by humans for twelve thousand years. It now draws

12
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: five million tourists and adventurers each year, who flock there

13
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: to hike its trails, clamber on its vast red walls,

14
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and revel in the almost cosmic scale of one of

15
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: nature's most awesome sights. And yet only five percent of

16
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: visitors ever leave the relative safety of the canyon. Rim

17
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Deeper down is where its true mysteries are found. Even

18
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: its age is open to doubt. Common geological wisdom dictates

19
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: that the canyon was formed between five and six million

20
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: years ago, but the rock itself poses troubling questions. You see,

21
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the canyon is missing time. A lot of time rock

22
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: from the Paleozoic era sits atop a layer known as

23
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: the Vishnu Basement rocks, and the roughly one point two

24
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: billion years of geological struct that should separate them is

25
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: simply not there. It was Major John Wesley Powell, a

26
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: soldier geologist and explorer, who in eighteen sixty nine discovered

27
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: this literal manifestation of missing time, and in the century

28
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: and a half since, no one has been able to

29
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: satisfactorily explain the absence. It's a worldwide anomally known as

30
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the Great Unconformity, but it is greater, more apparent, and

31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: more visibly complex at the Grand Canyon than anywhere else

32
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: on Earth. All Powell could say by way of explanation

33
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: is that Dame Nature needed this batch of dough very thoroughly.

34
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Such a large chunk of missing time leaves a vacuum

35
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: into which theories and speculation have inevitably poured. In nineteen

36
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: oh nine, the Arizona Cassette reported on a Smithsonian expedition

37
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: which supposedly discovered a huge expanse of caverns at the

38
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, large enough to host thousands of people and

39
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: filled with ancient statues and weapons, each with a distinctly

40
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Egyptian esthetic. However, with the Smithsonian claiming not to have

41
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: any record of the apparent expedition, many now assume the

42
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: story was simply concocted to sell newspapers. And yet there

43
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: are those who still point to the hundreds, perhaps thousands

44
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: of unmapped caves, and those two, perhaps of a more

45
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: conspiratorial mindset, who speculate about the so called forbidden zones

46
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: of the canyon where exploration is banned and they wander.

47
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: But for the Canyon's most abiding mystery, we have to

48
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: go right to the bottom, where the river still runs

49
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: as it continues its imperceptible and irrevocable shaping of the world.

50
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: To wear Pinned between the canyon walls, the water hurries

51
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: and twists with lethal intensity, and what it snatches rarely,

52
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: if ever, makes it back to the surface. You're listening

53
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to Unexplained, and I'm Richard McLean Smith. Back in nineteen

54
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty two year old Bessie Louise Haley boarded

55
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: a steamship traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Just

56
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the year before, the aspiring poet and artist from West

57
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Virginia married her high school sweetheart, Earl Helmic, but after

58
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: spending less than two months living with him in Kentucky,

59
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: he decided to relocate alone to the West Coast. Little

60
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: is known about why she left exactly, but almost immediately

61
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: upon disembarking in Los Angeles, Bessie wrote to her husband

62
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: requesting a divorce. She'd met someone else on board the ship.

63
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: She said that man was twenty nine year old Glen

64
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Rolin Hyde, a potato farmer from Idaho. It was just

65
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: one of many decisions and counterdecisions that Bessie was wont

66
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: to make, hinting at a natural impulsivity and thirst for adventure.

67
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: On first look, her mercurial nature seemed ill suited to

68
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: a romance with a twenty nine year old potato farmer

69
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: from Idaho. Yet there was much more to Glen Hyde

70
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: than his stolid background would suggest. Glen was a keen

71
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: rafter trained by seasoned rivermen on the salmon and snake

72
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: rivers of Idaho. He once spent six months kayaking fishing

73
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: and hunting the length of Canada's Peace River and back.

74
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: In nineteen twenty two, accompanied by his younger sister Jean,

75
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: he'd even completed a thousand mile river journey from his

76
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: home state to the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps it was something

77
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: in Glen's own aptitude for adventure that appealed to Bessie.

78
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 1: Perhaps it was just the natural romance of being young

79
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: and at sea. Either way, they quickly fell in love

80
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: on that passenger ship. For his part, Bessie's husband, Earl,

81
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: refused the divorce, but Bessie would not be deterred. After

82
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: promptly moving to Nevada, she established a residency there that

83
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: allowed her to file for divorce on her own terms,

84
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: and on April eleventh, nineteen twenty eight, it was finalized.

85
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: The very next day, she and Glen Hyde were married.

86
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: The newlywed soon settled in Myrtar Place, Glen's farm house

87
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: in Twin Falls, Idaho, where he made a modest living

88
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: growing potatoes and raising sheep. It was a life largely

89
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: tethered to the rigor of farm work, leaving little time

90
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: for the adventure that the young couple both craved. Though

91
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Bessie learnt to ride horses in her scant spare time

92
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: while working the farm with her husband. The transition from

93
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: the San Francisco art scene to a life of rural

94
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: mundanity began to take its toll. Glen was feeling it too.

95
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: The river waters, never far from its mind, were beckoning.

96
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Two years earlier, several parties attempted to film a river

97
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: traversal of the Grand Canyon. One succeeded. Led by the

98
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: novice captain Clyde Eddie. The crew of thirteen plus a

99
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: dog and a bear cup became the first expedition to

100
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: complete the journey during the canyon's high water season. Their

101
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: recorded footage brought the river much publicity and didn't go

102
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 1: unnoticed by Bessie and Glen. The images of wild water

103
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: and towering cliffs were too good to ignore. Bessie and

104
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Glen made the decision to try and recreate Clyde Eddie's journey.

105
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: It would be a belated honeymoon of thoughts, marrying Glenn's

106
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: lust for the river with Bessie's desire for renown. But

107
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Glen wanted to go beyond simply repeating the feat. He

108
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: wanted to break the speed record for traversing the canyon

109
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: and in the process make Bessie the first recognized woman

110
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: to make the run. After an arduous summer of farm work,

111
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the couple left the farm and made their way to

112
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: the town of Green River in Utah, feeling excited and rejuvenated.

113
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: For the next two days, Glen, a practiced boat builder,

114
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: worked tirelessly to build the vessel they would use, at

115
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: a cost of roughly fifty dollars just under a thousand

116
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: by today's standards. He settled on a scow, a broad,

117
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: flat bottomed, wooden boat said to resemble little more than

118
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: a plank box and often described ominously as a floating coffin.

119
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Scows were common to the rivers of Idaho, where they

120
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: were usually worked by a two person crew, one to

121
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: steer from the front while another steered from the back,

122
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: both using long oars called sweeps. Glen had captained a

123
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: scow on his epic journey to the Pacific just a

124
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: few years earlier. To him, it seemed an obvious, dependable,

125
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: and affordable choice for the more robust demands of the Colorado.

126
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: The Hights named their boat Rain in the Face in

127
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: anticipation of the unceasing spray and rough waters that lay ahead.

128
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: They loaded it with supplies for the journey, including a

129
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: Kodak camera and several journals to record the journey in

130
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: the hope of selling it later, and the rudimentary box

131
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: spring bed. Because this was, after all, their honeymoon, Glenn

132
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: felt confident. He expected the entire journey could be accomplished

133
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: in no more than a month and a half, and

134
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: he estimated their arrival at their final destination of Needles, California,

135
00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: by December sixth, certainly no later than December ninth. Despite

136
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: having no prior river rafting experience, Bessie was also in

137
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: good spirits. Upon leaving, Glen assured her that there'd be

138
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: plenty of time on the earlier, calmer stretches of river

139
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: to learn the skills necessary for the raging torrents awaiting

140
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: them on the Colorado, and with that, the pair set

141
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: off into the canyon's stony throat. On October twentieth, nineteen

142
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight, the Hides pushed out into the Green River

143
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: to begin the first stage of their journey. By day,

144
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: they paddled along the relatively gentle waters. Then come night,

145
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: they pulled their makeshift bed onto the sandy banks and

146
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: nestled down together beneath the stars in the ageless embrace

147
00:11:50,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: of the canyon rock. Those first few days on the

148
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: river together proved an ideal training ground, as Glen had

149
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: suggested for Bessie to learn the ways of the scow,

150
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: which she quickly got the hang of. After one hundred

151
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: and twenty miles, they completed the Green River leg without

152
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: major incident, except for one brief moment as they passed

153
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: through Cataract Canyon when Bessie fell overboard. It's easy to

154
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: imagine the couple laughing as Glen dragged his soaked wife

155
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: from the slowly meandering river, But the Colorado River was

156
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: a different proposition altogether. At Lee's Ferry, a river station

157
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: at the entrance to the canyon, locals spotting Bessie and

158
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Glen on their boat warned them that it was unfit

159
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: for the rapids down river. Only weeks before, three people

160
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: had drowned when a flood washed the local very boat away,

161
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: a boat far more suited to the river than the

162
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Hyde's scow. But Glen laughed it off and the couple

163
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: continued on their way. It was on November sixteenth when

164
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: a somewhat harrowed looking, Bessie and Glen arrived at the

165
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: home of Emery Colb in Grand Canyon Village. Colb was

166
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: a photographer who'd opened a local studio with his brother

167
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Ellsworth in nineteen o six. The Colbs were key figures

168
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: in the history of Grand Canyon tourism. Their photographs of

169
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: mule riding visitors and their own hair raising adventures on

170
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: the river did much to foster romantic impressions of the park,

171
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: so it's no surprise that the promotionally minded Hides sought

172
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: Emery out. By this point, Bessie and Glen had been

173
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: on the river for nearly a month. They were almost

174
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: three hundred miles into their journey, eighty eight miles into

175
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: the canyon proper, and on course to break the speed record. Still,

176
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: they needed to restock and were eager for respite from

177
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: the endless bob and weave of the rapids, the unrelenting

178
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: pressure to observe and react to the waters every whim.

179
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: In search of both supplies and different scenery, they height

180
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: the five thousand foot climb up Bright Angel Trail to

181
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon Village, now a tourist hub through which most

182
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: visitors access the park. In nineteen twenty eight. It was

183
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: a hamlet of just a few buildings, tucked on the

184
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: southern rim of the canyon. Emery received the pair warmly

185
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: and invited them to his home for the night. It

186
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: was immediately clear to Colb that the Hides, and Bessie

187
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: in particular, had been left a little shaken by their

188
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: journey so far. That night, over dinner, Bessie described one

189
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: incident in which the scow had tipped over suddenly in

190
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the Colorado's rapids, sending Glen plunging deep into the churning

191
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: waters below. The memory of Glen swimming for his life

192
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: while Bessie alone in the boat had suddenly found herself

193
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: not only responsible for her husband's rescue, but the scowl

194
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: upon which both of their lives depended had clearly left

195
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a haunting impression on the young woman. It was then

196
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: that Colb also realized the couple had neglected to bring

197
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: life jackets with them. Emory Colb was so concerned by

198
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: the couple's unpreparedness for what he knew lay ahead, he

199
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: invited them to stay with him and his wife over

200
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: winter in Grand Canyon Village, but once again Glen neglected

201
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: to heed the warning it was vital. He said that

202
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: they make it to the town of Needles within a

203
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: week to stay on track for the record. In any case,

204
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: he thought they'd already overcome the worst that the river

205
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: had to offer. Before they departed Grand Canyon Village, Glen

206
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: asked Emory to take their photograph, promising to collect and

207
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: pay on their return. Emery captured the couple against a

208
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: wall of stacked stone, standing side by side with slicked

209
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: hair and rugged outdoor clothing. Glen holds his hat jauntily

210
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: in one hand, the other thrust deep in his pocket,

211
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: while Bessie looks every inch the twenties adventurer, her hair

212
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: slicked back, the fur collar of her leather aviator jacket

213
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: pulled up high around her jaw. Over the years, researchers

214
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: of ponder whether the photo hints at discord or unease

215
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: between the hides. For Emory call, at least, there was

216
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: little doubt that Bessie seemed nervous, reluctant even to leave

217
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: the safety of the canyon, as if she knew that

218
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: nothing good waited for her back down on the river.

219
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: As the pair prepared to descend back into the bowels

220
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: of the canyon, Emory's young daughter appeared, wearing fine feminine clothing.

221
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Emory watched as Bessie observed the child, muttering to herself,

222
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: I wonder if I will ever wear pretty shoes again.

223
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: Then the couple made their goodbyes and headed off back

224
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: to the canyon, eventually disappearing out of sight as they

225
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: turned into the Bright Angel Trail, while Emory watched on uneasily.

226
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: Back at the river landing, the Hides found a stranger

227
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: standing next to their scowl. The man was a friend

228
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: of Emery's named Adolf Gilbert Sutro, a wealthy tourist enjoying

229
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: a tour of the Southwestern States. Sutro made the Highs

230
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: a proposition. If they would carry him a day down river,

231
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: he would happily take photographs of the experience for them.

232
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: Perhaps eager for company and possibly keen for more promotional material,

233
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: or maybe just happy to help out a fellow traveler,

234
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: the Heights readily agreed. Adolf Sutro was not unfamiliar with danger.

235
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: He was an adventurer himself, though with the air variety

236
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: rather than water. He learned to fly with the right

237
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: brothers and had set several solo records for seaplane flights twice.

238
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: He'd been plucked from the wreckage of a crash in

239
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco Bay. Yet he was horrifying by his time

240
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: on the river with the Hides. Over a short seven

241
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: mile stretch, they encountered some of the worst rapids on

242
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: the course. They got stuck in a fierce eddy for hours,

243
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: and the Scowl was nearly pummeled to driftwood by a

244
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: crashing descent through granite gorge. The Hides and Sutro spent

245
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: an uneasy night sleeping in the sand on a small

246
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: beach before limping into hermit camp the next morning. The

247
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: whole experience haunted the aviator. Later, he would write, my

248
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: unfailing guiding light in life has been the precept that

249
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: it is better to be an alive coward than a

250
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: dead hero. I disembarked permanently at the very first landing spot.

251
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: The photos that Sutro took of the heights tell a

252
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: very different story to the one taken by Emery Colb.

253
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: There are far fewer smile for a start. One picture

254
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: in particular captures the intensity on Glen's face as he

255
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: stares dead ahead down their course behind him. Bessie's mouth

256
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: is a firm line, as if she is girding herself

257
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: for what is to come. In Sutro's opinion, it was

258
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: a miracle that the Hides had made it that far.

259
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: At the point where they parted company, they traveled three

260
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: hundred seventy five miles and had four hundred thirty more

261
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: to go. Sutro watched them depart, relieved to be alive,

262
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: but like everyone else who'd met the Hides along the river,

263
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: he left them worried for their safety. Sutro's final glimpse

264
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: of the Hides as they slipped around the next bend

265
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: would be the last time that anyone saw Bessie or Glen,

266
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: alive or dead. Well, no one would ever see Glen

267
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: hide again. As for Bessie, well, that is more complicated.

268
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: When the Hides didn't appear in Needles in early December,

269
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: the alarm was quickly raised. Glen's father, suspecting something amiss,

270
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: rushed to the area. He hired native trackers and even

271
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: persuaded Dwight Davis, the then U S Secretary of War,

272
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: to mobilize an air search. He drafted the Coal Brothers

273
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: in to help, too. Emery who'd never quite got his

274
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: worry about the young couple out of his mind, was

275
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: only too happy to help. Then, on December nineteenth, nineteen

276
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: twenty eight, the pilot of a small plane spotted something

277
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: caught in rocks some hundred forty miles south of where

278
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Adolph Sutro had waved them off. It was the Hyde's boat.

279
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: When they found the scow, they were sitting upright and

280
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: stocked full of supplies. The hide's coats and boots were

281
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: also still on board, as was Glen's gun, Bessie's journals,

282
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: and the Kodak camera. Bessie's final journal entry was dated

283
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: November thirtieth, and the last photo was later determined to

284
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: have been taken sixty miles up stream. The gunwale was

285
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: scarred by forty one deep scratches, one for each day

286
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: of the trip between October twentieth and November thirtieth, but

287
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: there was no sight or sign of the hides. The

288
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: search began in earnest, up and down the nearest stretch

289
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: of river, and in the surrounding canyon, but still they

290
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: found nothing. Investigators eventually came to the seemingly obvious conclusion

291
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: that Bessie and Glen had met their end in one

292
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: of the river rapids, but why then was the boat

293
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: still upright and river worthy with less than a foot

294
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: of water taken on board. Perhaps clinging to hope, Glenn's

295
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: father insisted that the couple must have attempted to hike

296
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: out of the canyon and might have gotten lost in

297
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: the countless folds of rock and trail. But, as others

298
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: pointed out, if that were true, why would they have

299
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: left their food, boots, and warm clothing in a perfectly

300
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: serviceable boat. That's when the speculation about the character of

301
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: the Hides themselves began. Word got around that Glen was

302
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: an abusive husband, leading some to theorize that his behavior

303
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: had worsened due to the stress of life on the raft,

304
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: leading him to murder Bessie before fleeing the crime or

305
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: taking his own life. Others suggested that it was Bessie

306
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: who had in fact committed the murder, either in self

307
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: defense or after becoming tired of Glenn's abuse. In response,

308
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: close friends and family came forward to say that Glenn

309
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: was actually a devoted and gentle husband who loved Bessie dearly,

310
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: and there the story may have concluded. Unresolved, but in

311
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: the end, just another disappearance in the American wilderness, a

312
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: familiar tale of courage colliding with hubris and recklessness. But

313
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: as the years went by, a series of strange developments

314
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: began to emerge to fan the embers of the mystery

315
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: and keep it a flicker. In nineteen seventy one, a

316
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: rafting tour made can but Diamond Creek, a landing spot

317
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: just a dozen miles from where the Hyde's scowl was discovered.

318
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: As night fell, the guide gathered his group around the

319
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: campfire to regale them with the forty year old mystery.

320
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: As he reached the haunting anticlimax of the tale, an

321
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: elderly member of the group stuck her hand up to

322
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: quieten him. She knew the story well, she said, because

323
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: she was Bessie Hyde. As the stunned group looked on,

324
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: she explained that the rumors had been true all along.

325
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Glenn was an abusive husband whose temper did indeed worsen

326
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: during their time on the river. According to the woman,

327
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: when she begged him to end the expedition early, he

328
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: beat her into submission. So what did you do, the

329
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: guide asked, half joking, I stabbed him. The woman reply

330
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: light without missing a beat. The woman then explained how

331
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: she'd thrown Glen's body into the white water and watched

332
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: it disappear, before hiking out of the canyon alone. When

333
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: she eventually reached the town of Peach Springs, Arizona, she

334
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: caught a bus and began her life anew, it doesn't

335
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: matter if I say I murdered him now, the woman said,

336
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: because no one will believe me anyway. That part turned

337
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: out to be true. No one did believe her, not

338
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: least because the mysterious woman was at least four inches

339
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: taller than the five foot nothing Bessie Hyde. The woman

340
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: later recanted her story. Five years later, in nineteen seventy six,

341
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: human remains were found in a canoe. It wasn't on

342
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: the river, however, but in the boat house, belonging to

343
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: none other than Emery Colb. The male skeleton was discovered

344
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: shortly after Emery's death by his grandson and occasioned immediate

345
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: speculation that the corpse belonged to Glen Hyde. A bullet

346
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: found inside the skull implied that Emery had murdered him.

347
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: Did the experienced canyon traveler followed the hides down river,

348
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: perhaps in a misguided attempt to save Bessie from her fate.

349
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: It's a darkly romantic notion, but here too, such a

350
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: neat if grim conclusion twists away like the river. Decades later,

351
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: a local sheriff scuring photographs in the Grand Canyon Museum

352
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: identified the remains as belonging to an unidentified suicide victim

353
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: found in the national park back in nineteen thirty three.

354
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: The body could not be Glen Hyde, but quite what

355
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: it was doing in Emery Coolb's boat house is another mist,

356
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: entirely one of the many secrets that the Grand Canyon

357
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: is unlikely to ever give up. In nineteen ninety two,

358
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: sixty four years after the Hyde's disappearance on the Colorado,

359
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: a woman named Georgie White Clark died. She was eighty

360
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: one years old. Georgie spent nearly fifty years working as

361
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: a river guide up and down the Colorado. She was

362
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: a vastly experienced rafter, the first woman to raft the

363
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: canyon and the first to swim it, Known for her

364
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: Leopard Prince swimwear and a ponchant for confronting the waters

365
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: at full speed. In short, Georgie was a legend so

366
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: integral to the culture of the canyon that in two

367
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: thousand and one, a rapid was even named after her

368
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: at Mile twenty four. Yet for all her fame, there

369
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: were things that no one knew about Georgie Clark. After

370
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: her death, friends of Georgie's entered her home for the

371
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: first time. Throughout decades of friendship, they had never been

372
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: invited inside. While collating her belongings, they stumbled across an

373
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: intriguing discovery. First, they found a birth certificate. It revealed

374
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: that Georgie White Clark had not been born Georgie White Clerk.

375
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Her first name was Bessie de Ross. Both White and

376
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Clark were the surnames of ex husbands, and according to

377
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: other documents that were found, Georgie was born in Oklahoma

378
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: and brought up in Colorado, not Chicago, as her friends

379
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: had been led to believe. Clearly, Georgie Clark was not

380
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: the woman that people thought she was, So who was she?

381
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: In a bedside drawer buried beneath faded lingerie, Georgie's friends

382
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: also found a pistol comparison with the gun seen in

383
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: several of the photographs found on Bessie and Glenn's Kodak

384
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: suggests that it may well have been the very same weapon.

385
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: And beneath that was the most startling discovery of Awe

386
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: her marriage certificate belonging to none other than Bessie and

387
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: Glenn Hyde. So what are we to make of all this?

388
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: It is tempting to believe that Bessie Hyde escaped a

389
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: bad situation on that wild water in nineteen twenty eight

390
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: and returned to slay that dragon repeatedly over the next

391
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: half century, that Bessie was the first woman to raft

392
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: the canyon, after all under a different name. But if

393
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: Georgie Clark was Bessie Hyde, it still only answers half

394
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: the question. Glen's fate still lingers unanswered and obscured by

395
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: a century of passing water. And if Georgie wasn't Bessie Hyde,

396
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: what are we to make of that marriage certificate? How

397
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: did it come into Georgie's possession? And what did she

398
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: perhaps know and keep secret about the Hyde's final confrontation

399
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: with the White Maelstrom of the Colorado. With Georgie's death,

400
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe the final grasp of the truth drifted away forever

401
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: into history, and rumour left only to be recounted on

402
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: endless starry nights around campfires in the canyon. All that

403
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: remains is the memory of a young couple who once

404
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: braved a river powerful enough to change the world, who

405
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: became just one of the many stories fossilized forever in

406
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: those folds of Arizona Rock. Remember, before she became a rafter,

407
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: Bessie Hyde was a poet. So I'd like to leave

408
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: you with a verse from an unnamed poem found in

409
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: her collection, Wandering Leaves. Oh, Mamma, dear, please come. My

410
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: Dolly must be drowned. When I put her on the creek,

411
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: she sunk without a sound. We Betty's eyes filled with tears.

412
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: Where could poor Dolly be? Perhaps she'd turned into a

413
00:32:40,000 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 1: mermaid and drifted out to see This episode was written
