English Manuscripts and related material for an autobiography of the son of a mining engineer. Biography of Marshall Bond

Yale educated traveler Marshall Bond Jr. (1908-1983) was born in Los Angeles and raised in Santa Barbara. He was the second son of Marshall Bond Sr. (1867-1941), an avid adventurer and gold miner. Bond authored his father’s biography, “Gold Hunter” (1969), on his exploits in Alaska during the 1890s gold rush. Marshall Bond’s own autobiography, "Adventures with Peons, Princes and Tycoons" (1983), transcribes his own experiences and life’s journey from his beginnings in California, to traveling through both hemispheres, and all the interesting individuals he met along the way. Marshall Bond spent 27 months stationed in New Caledonia, and experienced first-hand the Pacific Ocean theater, during World War II. Bond experienced socializing with the “high society” in New York and Washington and traveling on a schooner yacht across the Atlantic. In 1953 Bond spent considerable time trekking through the Sierra Madres in Chihuahua, Mexico, where he was lodged by a Mormon colony. There he gained experience in hunting with the Mormons and made friends with several of the local Mexicans and those from the indigenous population. Other stories include his time rafting 500 miles down the Rio Balsas in Mexico and on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
