The bulk of the collection consists of Andrews' administrative papers (16 boxes of material) and [personal] papers (2 boxes). There are also blowbacks (printed copies from microfilm) of his journals from the Central Asiatic Expeditions (CAE), and two of Andrews' handwritten signed letters from Japan: one of 1912 to George Borup; the other of 1918 to Joel Asaph Allen, congratulating him on his 80th birthday. The administrative papers consist primarily of correspondence; there are also manuscripts of Andrews' articles, book reviews of others' works; biographies of Andrews; and memos. The 1987 accession papers are correspondence, manuscripts, and transcripts of Andrews' broadcasts and talks. This part of the collection also contains one folder of family and biographical documents and newspaper clippings received from Charles Gallenkamp, Andrews' biographer, in 1990. The majority of the administrative papers' correspondence concerns requests for speaking engagements about Andrews' explorations, requests for articles, and letters from the public and from companies requesting information. There is some correspondence relating to the planning of the CAE, especially from applicants; public news of some of the finds; and letters to and from companies regarding donations of supplies. Some reports describe working conditions in China. Andrews' correspondents include members of the CAE: Charles P. Berkey, Frederick B. Butler, Ralph W. Chaney, Walter Granger, Capt. W.P.T. Hill, Frederick K. Morris, Leo B. Roberts and Leslie E. Spock. Other correspondents include Hans C. Adamson, Carl Akeley, Glover M. Allen, H.E. Anthony, Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, W.

All the world knows that Roy Chapman Andrews is the discoverer of the dinosaur Eggs, for these small and fragile relics of an inconceivably remote past fired the public’s imagination and were the sensation of their day. These eggs, however, were only an incident, and by no means the most important incident, in a rich, exciting, and valuable career. Now Andrews looks back over that life, weighs the relative importance of its many chapters, relives the finest moments, and regards with wonder the chance and good fortune that shaped his way. The author’s position as a naturalist is almost unique in that he was both a field operation and museum man, both an explorer and an administrator. His book, thus, is only in part concerned with the many voyages—landmarks of scientific history—that began with the first scientific study of the whale and culminated in the great forays into the forbidding Gobi region in quest of the birthplace of mammal life. Andrews has been on the staff of the American Museum of Natural History for almost all his adult life, and he records fascinating glimpses of the adventures and discoveries that take place behind the doors marked “private”. A man who attempts expeditions on the grand scale, moreover, must be a financier, a field marshal, and at times a diplomat of no mean subtlety. Andrews played all those roles with gusto, and recalls here the outstanding exploits. And the author is not a specialist whose vision is confined to bones and carcasses and show cases. He was for many years a leading figure in the hectic international society of the Orient, and he gives unforgettable pictures of life in Yokohama, Singapore, Tokyo, Port Said, Peking, and other storied cities of the East. Andrews believes he was born under a lucky star. The reader will decide that he hitched his wagon to it and had the courage to hang on. It is an enviable life he has led; it makes wonderfully engrossing reading.

The Mightiest of Them All: Memories of Grand Coulee Dam presents the experiences of L. Vaughn Downs from the time he started working on the dam when it was in the design stage, through the construction period and into many years of actual dam operation and maintenance. He provides glimpses into the personalities connected with the project and explains the many techniques and pieces of equipment that were developed or improved as the dam was built. Downs also devotes considerable attention to problems they encountered and the solutions developed in the hope that others will learn from these situations. This revised edition brings the story up to the current period with an examination of the upkeep and condition of the dam after 50 years, and its prospects for the future. Engineers, architects, and interested general readers will feel the thrill of this extraordinary dam, as the informative text and bounty of photographs illustrate various stages of construction and the dramatic rates of progress attained.
