*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.
