"D&D Supplement II: Blackmoor": TSR, 1975.

I do think so. If you look at the monsters that are unquestionably Steve Marsh's alone, you don't get as much of that background/story detail. Some of them are really brief. (Morkoth, Ixitxachtil, Locath etc.) The Sahaugin story does sound like Blackmoor material but I can't point out anything that is really strongly related to Arneson's style of writing, as opposed to Kask, in the description. My sense of the supplement in general, based on the text and because it was Kasks first job, and based on Kasks comments regarding how he thought poorly of the Assasin and Monk characters but put them in anyway because Gary insisted that he should do it because it was Dave's supplement and that's what he wanted, that Tim made a sincere effort to incorporate as much of Arnesons material and "voice" as he could, as long as it seemed compatible with Gygax's Greyhawk. So I think there are stray bits and pieces of Arneson material peppered in the stuff by Marsh and others and whether Kask or Marsh, or Arneson wrote some bit of "fluff" I think its fair to say it was generally in keeping with Dave's ideas and endorsed by him, since he never expressed any real disagreement with it. The one bit of fluff I wonder most about is the intro to ToTF, since it disagrees in several particulars with Steve Rochefords version, I think Kask may have had a hand in expanding the background there but I'm just speculating at this point.

Cool, I was hoping that would be the case. Ripvanwormer posted some pretty interesting theories linking some elements from the DoCBM and the Sahuagin background and this makes that even more appropriate, the general assumption being that these were Arneson's ideas.
