Big Water, Little Boats follows the whitewater exploits of Moulty Fulmer. The builder of Grand Canyon’s first dory during the high-water heyday of river running before Glen Canyon Dam, Fulmer manages almost forty years of boating between 1942 and 1978, where he boated with Norm Nevills, Frank Wright, Dock Marston, Pat Reilly, and Martin Litton, besides rubbing shoulders with many other river runners who were Fulmer’s contemporaries.
