Two items: handwritten notes on three 3 x 5 sheets, both sides except for the last page, detailing items needed for a “1926 Sierra Trip,” including “lot of rope, heavy twine...2 extra autocrome plate holders...boxes for exposed plates, adhesive...hatchets–axe, dutch oven–cooking utensils, tarps–2 tents...new camera cases, chaps, slicker...filters for panorama...1 table to write on (folding), tripods...sky filters...note books, flower guide...panchromatic film, panorama film, sandals, flashlights, 25–20 shells, adhesive tape, iodine, snake bite outfit...plenty of mosquito netting...”; and a partial manuscript, handwritten on three 3 x 5 sheets, both sides except for the last page, in part: “...When he disappeared we stole in to find the lake & open meadow vacant. We watched for a couple of hours...heard a deer...behind us clicking the stones and sappling twigs. Was it...back again? Saw only squirrels and birds...I caught sight of the open grassy meadow...A jay called humbly the first sign of awakening...Eastward the bright light turned to a flare of gold. When we reached the height of the promontory the tips of the pines stood sunrise...and all the world seemed exquisitely bathed in some celestial light...” In very good condition, with uniform shade of toning, corner bends and some rough edges where the notes of “Sierra Trip” were torn from a note book, and tears to the binder holes of the manuscript. Accompanied by two fishing brochures, letters and original mailing envelopes addressed to Grey. These lists and raw scribblings from Grey illustrate the depth of a man who lived, breathed, and thrived off the land, turning oceans of sand and Western adventures into timeless literary classics.
