Scope and Contents

This box contains correspondence with Otis "Dock" Marston, who went through the Grand Canyon with Nevills in 1942. On later trips, Marston served as a boatman for Nevills, and later yet became known as the historian of the Colorado River. He was always an indefatigable and voluminous correspondent, and his letters contain a great deal of information on the rivers, the canyons, and other contemporary figures. These are detailed, personal letters between him and Nevills, and contain probably the best revelations as to Nevills and Marston's characters.
