Notes: Pamphlet.  Museum of Northern Arizona Technical Series No. 5.  Really not a reading volume (only two pages of descriptive text, with 6 pages listing Cummings’ explorations, plus a bibliography), more a chart listing Cummings’ (1860-1954) explorations through northern Arizona and southern Utah (think Glen Canyon), beginning in 1906, through 1944.   Copy 8 from the library of Watson Smith, his signature on upper front cover corner.  Copy 9 from the library of Alexander Lindsay, his last name on upper front cover corner.  How’d I end up with 12 copies?  Buy out MNA’s basement.
