Norman D. Nevills was a prominent figure in commercial river-running in the American Southwest, particularly known for his expeditions on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. He famously led the first successful float of the Grand Canyon by women and took notable figures, including Barry Goldwater, on thrilling river trips. Despite facing challenges, he never lost a customer and earned the title 'The World’s No. 1 Fast-Water Man.' Tragically, he died in a plane crash in 1949 while flying to lead another expedition.
