Creator	Sprang, Richard W., 1915-
Title	Correspondence between Dick Sprang and Stan Jones [constructed title], 1983.
Date	1983
Type	Text
Description	Selected letters from the correspondence between Dick Sprang and Stan Jones which spanned nearly three decades (1970-1997). These four letters deal with Toney Richardson and his Western pulp fiction, hiking to arches with Bob Vreeland, and a photocopy of an article written by Barbara Ekker concerning the Baker Ranch. Sprang and Jones had shared interests in hiking and the history of the Glen Canyon area.BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Dick Sprang came to Sedona, Arizona in May 1946, from Ohio, eager to explore the canyon country of northern Arizona and southern Utah. He remained in Sedona until 1956, hiking the backcountry, taking aerial photographs, and running the Colorado River in Glen Canyon. In 1952, together with Dudy Thomas and Harry Aleson, Sprang founded Canyon Surveys, a series of trips in Glen Canyon designed to map the geology, archeology, and flora and fauna of the soon-to-be dammed region. In 1957, Sprang moved to a ranch in Wayne County, Utah, where he ran cattle and continued exploring the slick rock country of southern Utah. He returned to Arizona (Prescott) in 1973 where he remained until his death in 2000. Sprang s years of research and exploration, writings and drawings earned him a reputation as an expert on the canyon country.
