Hite Ferry Dedication pamphlet and Lake Bonneville fossil shells

 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This collection consists of two folders. Folder 1 contains a mimeographed memorial book published on the occasion of the opening of the Hite Ferry across the Colorado River in Glen Canyon on September 17, 1946. The mimeographed book contains 20 photographs of the festivities held that day, as well as text of the speeches and talks given, and lists of participants. Folder 2 contains photographs of shells from ancient Lake Bonneville. It is not documented in the collection how the Hite pamphlet came into Mr. Crawford's possession, or what connection he might have had with the Hite ferry and the dedication ceremonies in 1946, but it is likely that he attended in his capacity as Commissioner of the Utah State Department of Publicity and Industrial Development.
