Bristol criticized, edited, and submitted for publication several of Douglass's scientific and popular works. Bristol also served as a ghost writer for Douglass. Douglass wrote to Bristol 10 January 1926, "I probably could make a success of the writing but a manuscript returned hits me with hammer blows and the spot is sore for years. So I seldom do this." Bristol wrote on 14 June 1926, "Have mailed the 'Goblin City' story to the and the 'Dinosaur National Monument' article to the of the The latter paper has always been partial to Utah publicity matters. We will see what comes of the articles."
