• From Powell To Power: A Recounting of the First One Hundred River Runners Through the Grand Canyon
  Short Description:  Grand Canyon author Tom Martin will presents a behind the scenes look at Otis “Dock” Marston’s book From Powell to Power: A Recounting of the First One Hundred River Runners Through Grand Canyon. Dock Marston thought his recounting would take six months to write in 1947 and soon realized what had been previously written was woefully incorrect and incomplete. Over the next thirty years, Dock amassed a huge collection of first-person accounts of these river runners, from James White on a log raft in 1867 to the first powerboat runs of 1949 through 1951.
  
  

• This presentation includes historic film footage of Marston and other river runners. Tom Martin will touch on who Dock Marston was, and look at some of the highlights of Marston’s recountings of the First 100.

• Available for purchase  at the presentation:
  Copies of Marston’s book
  Martin’s Grand Canyon river and hiking guide and
  Martin’s Grand Canyon’s first Dory, Big Water Little Boats.
