| These articles are reproduced without
change from original historic source material. They were
obtained principally from research at the Bancroft
Library and the California State Mineralogy Museum. These
articles are from publications contemporary to the events
discussed. Many of the place names have changed. and many
of the scientific views they reflect are greatly
outdated. They are available in a bound volume that I prepared several years ago, one copy kept at the state park office. Chris Valle-Riestra |
