This was a problematic situation, as the Blackfoots were at war with seven other tribes in the Grand Canyon, and were clearly losing. Whether it was an error in translation that Joshua made or some unrelated misunderstanding, the Blackfoots decided to hold the entire expedition for ransom. Joshua proved to be a capable interpreter, though eventually the hospitality of their hosts was replaced with hostility. Īround 2247, the Blackfoot were their first stop in the Canyon. Graham departed Canaan, following the Long 15 and 89 south towards Arizona, meeting Calhoun and Sallow on the way, sent by the Followers to provide education to local tribes and study their dialects. His knowledge made him a natural choice when the Followers of the Apocalypse asked for assistance in their expedition to the Grand Canyon. By the time he left his home, he was already fluent in several tribal dialects. In 2246, Graham received the mission call for his sacred service, to spread the good word to the people of the wasteland.

He grew up in peaceful times, learning the trade of a missionary and an interpreter, due to his natural aptitude for languages. Joshua Graham was born in New Canaan, a Mormon community established in what remained of the city of Ogden, Utah.
