Included in the postcards and letters are descriptions of travels and experiences. He invites Richard to go hike with him. Included is a bill of sale for a boat and boating equipment. Also included is a newspaper article about Aleson and his career as a river boatman and leader of river expeditions and a poem, written by Cass Hite in 1906, Trail of Hosteen Pish La Ki for Sixty Snows. 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.
