River History Calendar
This River History Calendar Page is in response to a self imposed challenge to see if I can find a Colorado River Running fact for every day of the year. The primary source material I used all came from Otis "Dock" Marston's vast collection of correspondence and trip logs found in the Otis Reed Marston Collection at The Huntington Library, San Marino, CA.

If you like this sort of stuff you might enjoy reading the following books:
From Powell To Power by Otis Reed Marston. This book recounts the travels and travails of the first 100 people Marston documented traveling through the Grand Canyon.
Dock Marston: Grand Canyon's Colorado River Running Historian Volume 1 by Tom Martin. This book covers Colorado River Running History from the 1800's through 1960.
