Notes for JOSEPH (LIEUT.) CHRISTMAS? IVES:
"Ours has been the first, and doubtless to be the last, to visit
this profitless locality." -- Lt. Joseph Ives after visiting
the Grand Canyon in 1861.
Lieutenant Joseph Ives' 1858 expedition up the Colorado
River employed the 54-foot paddle wheeler Explorer, and
included Smithsonian associate John Strong Newberry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Linda Bayless
Lieutenant Joseph Ives, who was conducting a survey for the U.S. military in 1857, wrote "The region is, of course, altogether valueless. It can be approached only from the south, and after entering it, there is nothing to do but leave. Ours has been the first and the last party of whites to visit this profitless locality. It seems intended by nature that the Colorado River, along the greater portion of its lonely and majestic way, shall be unvisited and undisturbed."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE LATE 1850s, one Lt. Joseph Christmas Ives steered the riverboat U.S. Explorer deep into the Colorado River. Arriving in the lower depths of the Grand Canyon, Ives made what may be the first photographs of what has become one of the most photographed subjects in the world.
Ives, part of a U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers expedition that mapped the Colorado River in 1857 and 1858, no doubt had no idea what he had wrought when he made those first Grand Canyon pictures. He couldn't have had
any inkling that what he considered the remote wilderness of Arizona, with its sweeping Indian lands and sleepy Mexican towns, would soon become a magnet for photographers of all stripes.

And those civil/military partnerships continue today with one of our most fundamental shared responsibilities: the making of maps. Right here in Florida, the first significant map of the Everglades was drawn by a young lieutenant of topographical engineers -- Joseph C. Ives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Christmas Ives
Joseph C. Ives became well acquainted with the west as he assisted in the
35th-parallel exploration in 1853 for the Pacific railroad study. Ives, a
former student at both Yale and West Point, received orders in 1857 to lead
one of many military expeditions in connection with the Utah or Mormon War.
He was told to travel up the Colorado River and investigate the possibility
of moving men and equipment into Utah by way of the Colorado and Virgin
Rivers.
After a miserable schooner trip around Baja California, Lieutenant Ives
arrived at the mouth of the Colorado to begin building a steam boat from
parts he and his men brought with them for the journey up the river. It was
a tedious experience to labor. By the end of December the group embarked in
their crude craft and arrived at Fort Yuma by 9 January 1858 where they
were united with two other contingents who had traveled overland from east
and west for the purpose of this exploration. Among the newcomers was the
famous geologist, John Newberry. After contending with sand bars, curious
and sometimes unfriendly Indians, and even a small Mormon spy party
directed by Jacob Hamblin, Ives and his men followed the river as far as
Cottonwood Valley in present-day Arizona. Leaving the craft in Black
Canyon, the group then began the most important aspect of this expedition,
which gave Newberry an opportunity to study the eroded plateaus of Northern
Arizona and Southern Utah. The members of Ives' party were the first
Anglo-Americans known to explore the floor of the Grand Canyon. Upon
leaving the canyon, the group headed southeast as far as Bill Williams
Mountain. The party then divided, some continuing east and the others,
including Ives, veering to the northeast toward the Hopi mesas. After
visiting the Hopi villages, Ives concluded his mission when he arrived at
Fort Defiance, New Mexico in May 1858.
