0317701986-1987. A collection of letters from Waters mostly to his literary agent Joan Daves as well as related ancillary materials showing Waters at work in the after-market for his writing with opportunities for later editions and film versions. Waters wrote primarily about the American Southwest in particular the Native American experience. His father was part Cheyenne. The first typed letter signed is from Waters to his agent Joan Daves dated August 24 1986 and concerns Lesley Ann Warren's interest in optioning the film rights to The Woman at Otowi Crossing and the contract for publication of a hardcover illustrated edition of The Man Who Killed the Deer. It is stapled to a copy of the contract with numerous marginal corrections and a retained copy of Daves' reply agreeing with Waters that the intended publisher Gibbs Smith had overreached in the contract. An included exchange between Daves and Gibbs Smith posits a simpler agreement while a retained carbon shows Daves reaching out to Ohio University Press to confirm they had no claim to hardcover rights. The second typed letter signed is from Waters to Keith Sabin in Daves' absence and is dated September 29 1986 and describes the purchasing history of Flight from Fiesta and the current unwelcome "blitz" he Waters is undergoing from Ritz Productions regarding theatrical rights. Waters encloses an initialed copy of the letter he wrote to Ritz Productions redirecting their overtures to Daves upon her return from Europe. Both of these letters are stapled together with retained copies of both Sabin's and Daves' replies as well as a retained copy of an earlier letter from Sabin to Waters saying they had been approached by Ritz and the initial contact letter from Ritz with an unsigned agreement for Right of First Refusal. Also included is a letter from Fiesta publisher Clark Kimball to Daves recommending the production company. The fourth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves dated April 29 1987 again describes the publishing history of Flight from Fiesta and informs Daves that the publisher Clark Kimball has been approached by CBS-Columbia regarding film rights and he includes Kimball's letter. Attached are the retained copies of letters from Daves to both Waters and Kimball admonishing all that Kimball has no role in film rights for the title and a later letter from Kimball acquiesces. The fifth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves August 3 1987 delineates an additional inquiry regarding a film option for Flight from Fiesta and several leads on optioning The Woman at Otowi Crossing should Lesley Ann Warren's option expire. Waters takes Daves to task for not responding to offers already presented for not keeping him informed and for being about to depart for Europe leaving him without representation: "I don't like to end our agent-client relationship after so many years but if the overload of work at this crucial time is too much for you I don't see any alternative." A copy of a letter to Waters at about this point from Alton Walpole shows one of the interested parties facing obstacles bringing Otowi Crossing to the screen. Also a letter to Daves from The University of Nevada thanks Daves for sending financials on Ohio University Press's Frank Waters: A Retrospective Anthology included but bemoans how infrequent the agent's communiques have become. However the Daves-Waters agent-client relationship was ongoing in October: in the sixth typed letter signed in this archive Waters informs Daves of yet another inquiry for Flight from Fiesta and asks her advice about payment on an opportunity he has to write the text for a book of photographs to be published by Arizona Highways likely Eternal Desert published in 1990. As mentioned many of the letters are stapled; most are folded for mailing; in some instances they bear the agency's routing marks or highlighting. The lot as a whole is near fine. No Binding.

193252315Various Locations: Unknown Tour Participant 1932. 1932. The typed travelogue of a participant in a driving tour of the American West that journeyed from Virginia to California and back again in Cadillac cars. The tour which was directed by Mr. L. H. Waters left Richmond on June 27 1932. On the tour the author saw many major tourist attractions of both the natural and man-made varieties. Those mentioned and described include Biltmore Estate the replica of the Parthenon in Nashville the city of Albuquerque assorted Southwestern Native American sites the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest in Arizona the Grand Canyon Hollywood and Beverly Hills the Rose Bowl in Pasadena Las Vegas before it became the entertainment and gambling destination that it is today the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City Yellowstone and other nearby natural monuments and Pike's Peak in Colorado among others. The group also ventured across the Mexican border to visit Tijuana. It is clear that the author was much taken with the natural wonders visible in the west as the manuscript describes those with evident awe and at much greater length than the other destinations: ". On westward towards the setting sun we visited the world-famous Painted Desert stretching across hundreds of acres before the eyes is the world's most magnificent palette with the colors already mixed. It is a breath-taking vision that bursts on one's sight. As far as one can see colors mingle and glow. With each hour as the light changes in the sky so change the colors of this wonderland. It is truly the foot of the rainbow . The Grand Canyon is truly one of the world's greatest spectacles. And in its power to rouse the emotion of the looker-on to stupefy or to exhilarate it has no equal of any kind anywhere unless it be the starry firmament itself. In the bewildering glory of its gorgeous coloring the rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the stillest places on earth even when it is crowded with people . Its Yellowstone's phenomena and beauty make one want to tarry beyond the time . We then drove to the top of Pikes Peak over the 'World's Highest Highway' running through the Pike National Forest to the very tip-top point of Pike's Peak. This is undoubtedly the grandest scenic highway in the sic world. The intrepidity of thought which conceived and the daring which achieved such a road almost overwhelm even the most thoughtless. While the sensation and exhileration sic of looking from the mountain on countless miles of the earth's surface is in itself well worth the trip the great beauty and wonder of it is the way in which this road climbs up and around mountains in its ascent to the summit; turning twisting winding . views that make one's heart swell with the joy of merely living and having eyes with which to see the wondrous beauties of the world ." The manuscript is in very good condition with folds and minor toning and rust on the first page. Unknown Tour Participant, 1932. unknown
Contains the landmark photo essay 'Seeking the Magic Mushroom' in which New York banker Robert Gordon Wasson describes his mission to southern Mexico to participate in the age-old rituals of natives who chew strange growths that produce visions. "The mushrooms were of a species with hallucinogenic powers; that is, they cause the eater to see visions. We chewed and swallowed these acrid mushrooms, saw visions, and emerged from the experience awestruck. [We] were the first white men in recorded history to eat the divine mushrooms, which for centuries have been a secret of certain Indian peoples." - p.101. Includes thirteen photos, eight of which are in color, plus life-size watercolor paintings of the seven kinds of hallucinogenic mushrooms so far discovered. This essay begins on page 100 and extends to page 120. Light musty scent. Complete and unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy of this historic issue. Book
