According to Wikipedia, Hugh Carson Cutler was a plant taxonomist, economic botanist, plant collector, and pioneer of paleoethnobotany. Biography Cutler graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with B.A. in 1935 and M.A. in 1936 and from Washington University in St. Louis with Ph.D. in 1939. His doctoral dissertation was "Monograph of the North American species of the genus Ephedra" . After completing his Ph.D. in 1939 he floated the San Juan River by himself from Bluff, Utah, to Mexican Hat, Utah. In 1940, Cutler and Martin Withers boated the San Juan from Shiprock, New Mexico, to Aneth, Utah. Cutler met Norman Nevills who hired Cutler to row a boat on one of the early commercial river-running trips down the Colorado River from Green River, Wyoming to Lake Mead through the Grand Canyon. Cutler worked on the boats for two weeks before the start. Due to faulty planning, oars for Cutler's boat did not arrive and a frail 8-foot pair was borrowed and soon broken. Cutler improvised with poles on which were nailed box ends. These worked for the run through Lodore Canyon at Dinosaur National Monument. At Jensen, Utah, supplementary equipment was salvaged from driftwood piles. Barry Goldwater was a trip participant and the two became lifelong friends. The trip took 60-days and near the end of the trip Cutler and Goldwater tobogganed the rapid at Diamond Creek aided by air mattresses. The people who watched from shore raised the question whether the men rode the mattresses or the mattresses rode them. Cutler was listed by Otis R. Marston as the 71st person to travel by boat from Lee's Ferry, Arizona, through Grand Canyon to Lake Mead.
