"Considering the most obscure of the men who made up the first group of the United States Geological Survey, Wallace E. Stegner's little brochure, just brought out by the University of Utah Press, 'Clarence Edward Dutton: An Appraisal,' gives an illumination of his character that marks this member of the Survey, whatever the obscurity into which he has fallen, as an unusual and interesting personality." - SL Tribune (12/13/1936).
