Diaries of Bert Loper [microform]: 1893-1946
Manuscripts
Microfilm of a photostat typescript of various materials related to Bert Loper. The reel begins with a letter from Loper to Brooks dated Oct. 28, 1946, and diary excerpts which describe his first foray in boating and four subsequent river trips. The first diary excerpt begins in 1893, and briefly covers Loper's return to Montezuma County and his discovery of boating while on the San Juan River. In the following section, he records his 1921 trip on the San Juan River as the boatman for a party from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) doing a preliminary survey for the Glen Canyon Dam. The trip, funded by the Southern California Edison Company, began near Bluff, Utah and ended at Lee's Ferry, Arizona. Loper describes the daily activities in camp and along the river, recording his travel through rapids and canyons. Loper also talks about the creation of Hole-in-the-Rock Trail and the Mormon settlement of Bluff, Utah. Following this diary is Loper's incomplete diary of a 1907 trip to prospect for gold on the Green and Colorado Rivers with Charles Silver Russell and Edwin Monett. The party successfully navigated their boats through the rapids of the Cataract Canyon Wilderness in Utah. The diary ends in December of 1907, when Loper was at Ticaboo, Utah. The next diary excerpt describes a 1922 trip, during which Loper was the head boatman on a survey by the USGS to amalgamate previous surveys done on the Green River from Green River, Wyoming to Green River, Utah. Funded by the Utah Power & Light Company, the trip also surveyed different dam sites. The final diary excerpt is from a 1939 trip on the Colorado River from Lee's Ferry to Lake Mead.
