Galloway-Stone Manuscripts Inventory

THE NATHANIEL GALLOWAY DIARIES PAPERS (Accn 1936) INVENTORY J. Willard Marriott Library Manuscripts Division University of Utah This inventory was prepared by Roy Webb in April 2002. In October, 2001, a descendant of Nathaniel Galloway, Mrs. Kay Neilson of Richfield, Utah, allowed the Special Collections Department to copy several documents that had been created by her great-grandfather, Nathaniel Galloway, a famous Colorado River explorer and boatman. The first journal covers Galloway's 1896-97 expedition with William Richmond, was edited and published in 1898 in two newspapers: the VERNAL EXPRESS, of Vernal, Utah, which was Galloway's home; and the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE, location unknown. The two versions are virtually identical; the VERNAL EXPRESS was published as a series between June 30 and October 6, 1898; the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE article was published as a whole on Sunday, June 26, 1898. It is likely that the COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE is the newspaper of Cincinnati, Ohio, as that was the home of Galloway's friend, Julius F. Stone, with whom Galloway repeated this same voyage in 1909. The versions in the collection are typed transcriptions of the original newspaper articles done by Otis R. Marston. The second is Galloway's journal from the 1909 Stone Expedition. The original diary was scanned and posted on the J. Willard Marriott library's website at http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/collections/galloway before being returned to Mrs. Neilson. Included in this collection are a typed transcript by Colorado River historian Otis R. Marston, and a print-out of a transcription that was edited for electronic searching by Roy Webb of the Special Collections Dept., J. Willard Marriott Library, in 2001. This journal covers September-November 1909. Finally, there is a copy of a letter dated January 19, 1960, from Otis R. Marston to Leslie Bliss of the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, describing the provenance of the 1909 journal. Related to the 1909 journal are a series of 100 photographs taken by Raymond Cogswell; these were presented to Galloway as an album, and in 1994 another descendant of Nathaniel Galloway allowed the library to copy these images, which are found in P0749.
