Description	Correspondence between Dick Sprang and Dock Marston (1953-56). Dick Sprang and Dock Marston met through Harry Aleson, exchanging several letters between 1952 and 1979, although they never shared a close friendship. The letters concern their mutual interest in Glen Canyon and its history. Note the first letter displays one of Marston's earlier nicknames, "Parson Dock." 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.
