Carroll and Doris Tichenor Collection, 1966-2009.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/462157866

Consists of correspondence, court documents, organizational records, and ephemera collected by Carroll and Doris Tichenor and related to the couple's environmental activism, which spanned from the late 1960s through the early twenty-first century. Of particular interest are items related to the early years of the Cumberland Chapter of the Sierra Club, including material related to efforts to save Red River Gorge in Kentucky from a proposed dam, which were highlighted by a 1967 protest hike led by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. The collection also contains newsletters and correspondence related to the national Sierra Club, as well as material from the Tichenors' efforts to stop the Eastern Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) from constructing a transmission cable that would cross their property. Also included are a number of environmental reports, compiled by both governmental and private agencies, and related to Kentucky and the nation at large.
