That night had gathered to found National Geographic Society and had agreed that the mission of her newborn organization - " the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge" - require difficult expeditions into uncharted territory. His philosophy could be summed up in a passage that Powell had written in his diary during his raid down the Colorado River almost 20 years earlier. After several daredevil descents through rapids and waterfalls, three men decided to leave. " We have pleaded not continue and we say it is really crazy to go ahead here" Powell wrote. However, "d ect the expedition stockings, accept that there is a part of the canyon I can not explore, after having almost achieved, it is more than I am willing to accept, and I am determined to go all the way."
