The Great Kanawha Navigation: E, 1931-1939, 1991 (Includes facsimiles)

The USACE appointed Kemp to document locks and dams along the Kanawha River and nominate them for the NRHP. Kemp’s research culminated in the book, The Great Kanawha Navigation. This box contains materials from his research, including facsimile correspondence, newspapers, book, bid proposals, and cost sheets that served as reference material for The Great Kanawha Navigation. Correspondence includes that with Major Conklin, Captain Hunt, the Chief of Engineers, Major Herman, and others. Some subjects include geology and hydrology of Teays Mahomet Valley, C.C.C. regulations, West Virginia public roads, and the National Reemployment Administration. References were used in the writing of The Great Kanawha Navigation. The following oversize materials were moved to Map Cabinet 12, Drawer 1, Folder 7: Seven sheets of facsimile clippings (1934-1939).
