Oral History ProjectPurpose
The Grand Canyon Historical Society (GCHS) actively works to preserve the personal stories and history of those who witnessed, or know about any aspect of, Grand Canyon’s history. What Is Oral History? Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. Copied with permission from The Bancroft Library Oral History Center, Berkeley Library, University of California. The Grand Canyon Historical Society Oral History Program In November 2013, the GCHS Board approved funding for an Oral History Project (OHP) and interviews began in the spring of 2014. The project involves the taping of oral interviews with any number of people who lived or worked in the Grand Canyon or the nearby region. The recorded interviews and transcriptions are being stored in the Museum Collections at Grand Canyon National Park and in the GCHS Collection at the Cline Library. Interviews and their transcriptions are becoming available on this web site as well. It is our hope these interviews will become a lasting record for the personal histories of the Grand Canyon, to be used in future research endeavors. The initial thrust of the project is to document first those candidates whose recollections may be lost in the near term. However, it is also important to interview those who may be in mid-career or even early career at Grand Canyon. The project as envisioned need not be solely the recording of stories by those who may be near the end-of-life. We are interviewing as many people as possible that have an intimate connection to the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon Oral History Recordings and Transcriptions The following are recorded GCHS interviews. As transcripts are finished, they are provided as well. Both are a part of the public domain and are stored here, at the Museum Collection, Grand Canyon National Park, and at Cline Library Special Collections. The Transcriptions are PDF documents. The sound files are MP3's and can be very large files, some over 1Gb in size. If you would like to use this material in any way, we simply ask you cite: Grand Canyon Historical Society Oral History Program, Grand Canyon National Park Museum Collection, and Cline Library Special Collections. If you are unable to download an MP3 sound file or would like a copy of any of the MP3 sound files, please contact oralhistories@grandcanyonhistory.org |

Historian Tom Martin and his wife Hazel Clark have launched their own Oral History website accessed at:
www.grandcanyonazus.com/oral-histories.html Tom Martin has conducted oral histories for nearly a decade and has interviewed more than 100 people associated with the Grand Canyon region. If you would like to hear directly from those who make Grand Canyon history, check out and bookmark the page. We wish their endeavor every success moving forward. Suggestions/Volunteers
If you would like to be involved with conducting oral history interviews, transcribing, reviewing transcripts, or you know of someone who might be a good candidate for an oral interview, please suggest them to any member of the Board or email oralhistories@grandcanyonhistory.org and let us know of your interest to be involved in this exciting project. |

Erik Bernhoft, Paul Bikis, and Casey Franklin
39-year-old Eric, 29-year-old Paul and Casey, have been exploring Glen Canyon's slot canyons for years. Erik started exploring slot canyons in Zion National Park in 2010. With a home-base in Bellingham, Washington, Erik traveled yearly to the Escalante, San Rafael Swell, and Capitol Reef until he discovered Glen Canyon. Two boats later, he became curious about Glen Canyon before Glen Canyon Dam and met Keturah Pennington (see her oral histories on this page). This interview was conducted in Glen Canyon near Driftwood Canyon during a historic photo rematching trip.

Donald Davis
Born in 1938 at Holly, Colorado, Donald moved around a lot growing up. In 1956 he graduated from High School at Fairplay, Colorado, and started caving through the Colorado A&M University Hiking Club two years later. In the fall of 1963, he hiked a small inflatable raft to Tapeats Creek Cave. In the spring of 1964, Donald and George Beck used pipe sections to build a scaling pole and gain access into Deer Spring Cave. By then, he was hooked on Grand Canyon. Little did he know he would soon be penduluming into Redwall caves with 100's of feet of free air below him... This is a 9 part interview.

Jake Dayley
On October 24, 2021, Jake Dayley and his climbing partner, Zach Harrison, climbed Gray Castle. The Castle is a 140 foot tall named butte in Grand Canyon National Park. There is no record of the Castle ever being climbed to the top before these two made their attempt. That's because it is a tower of Bright Angel shale with a Muave limestone cap. Jake sets the stage to make the climb by recounting his five prior attempts to climb Gray Castle.

Clare Donato
Clare loved two things growing up in South Carolina; swimming and horseback riding. By the time she was ten, she was show jumping. Clare worked her way through college, often in construction jobs. After graduating with a degree in sociology, a friend wrote there were jobs at Grand Canyon through the Youth Conservation Corp. When asked where she wanted to work, Clare said "The trail crew" and she became a Trail crew worker for the National Park Service in the spring of 1980. After sending herself to an 8 week course on how to shoe a mule, she became a Mule Packer at Grand Canyon National Park, possibly the first female to do so.

Jim Haggart
Born in Queens outside of New York City in 1954, Jim's father was sent to many different cities by his employer, IBM, when Jim was growing up. The family lived in NY, AZ, AL, and TX before Jim graduated High School. Jim became skilled at route finding, enjoying hiking, camping, canoeing, and reading. On receiving orders to move the family to Flint, Michigan, Jim's father resigned from IBM and moved the family to Scottsdale instead. Jim would soon become obsessed with hiking in Grand Canyon. This 35 part series covers close to 50 years of Grand Canyon hiking covering many thousands of miles below the Rim.

Richard Hanson
In this ten part series, Richard recounts his service as a medic in Vietnam, traveling between the Yosemite back country (where he found and fixed up the abandoned Snow Creek Cabin) and Central America as he rebuilt his life. He learned to pack mules over rough country and in an amazing twist of fate worked for many years as Trail Crew Foreman at Grand Canyon and Olympic National Parks, then for the National Park Service all across the Pacific Ocean.

Scott Imsland
Born in Lodi, California, in 1950, Scott grew up in downtown Sacramento. A group of his friends in High School got into caving and a good place to do that was on the limestone hills either side of the Stanislaus River. That got Scott interested in rafting and soon he was rigging a raft in the family dinning room. After his first year at Sacramento City College, Scott's good friend Gary Dubois invited him to attend a "Guide School" hosted by American River Touring Association (ARTA). This was his stepping stone to guiding river trips in Grand Canyon. This is an 11 part interview.

Allen Malmquist
Allen grew up in Palo Alto, California in the 1940s and 50s. In 1963 he solo backpacked into the western part of Grand Canyon with a 50# pack and an 8 X 10 box camera. After two years in the Army, he got a seasonal interpretation job at Pipe Springs National Monument. He soon had a pet coyote named Rusty and conducted daily bird surveys for Marybeth Riffey. That was just the start of Allen's many adventures in western Grand Canyon, the Arizona Strip, Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, and Lees Ferry. This is a 23 part interview.
