Sunk Without A Sound (Book) by Brad Dimock

An exciting true-life mystery, and a great tale: in 1928 just-married Glen and Bessie Hyde float the Grand Canyon in a wooden scow. A bit past what is now Phantom Ranch, the boat is found in still water, but they've disappeared. In 1971 an elderly lady joins a commercial Grand Canyon rafting tour, and late in the trip mentions she is Bessie Hyde and that she killed Glen, hiked out, and started life anew. In the following 20 years, 2 more appear to be the Hydes. Author Dimock, himself a commercial rafter, spent 2 years searching for the truth behind the Hyde mystery, and writes an account of his findings that is quite riveting. 304 pages.
