Mitchell was the mysterious man in the story but its the author that I am writing about. Today, still one of the most influential people in publishing.
Honestly, one of the most generous people that I have encountered in all this.
Travis Marlowe, a.k.a. Clarence Mitchell was the author of that '64 Life magazine article.
He only wrote the article to attract more investors for MOEL, inc. and ended up attracting unwelcome attention from the SEC, which started the journey of how the Stone Maps came to end up at the Superstition Mountain Museum.
I would hesitate to characterize him as a "top-shelf" author.
