About Robb Magley
We know Robb Magley through the book. The National Park Service's list of books about Black Canyon of the Gunnison includes Deep Black by Robb Magley with a 2002 date, and our own record agrees. Beyond that, we could not find a reliable biography, so we have not written one. The book's catalogue record gives four subject headings and a 2002 date, and the park service list shows only its cover.
What the books share
Our catalogue gives Deep Black four subject headings: adventure and adventurers, biography, description and travel, and history. The book's description places it in the Black Canyon, where the Gunnison River runs through a steep, narrow gorge that is lit by the sun for only a few hours a day in some spots. Black Canyon became a national monument in 1933 and a national park in 1999, according to the National Park Service.
