Howdy Folks, Last week, after lisfing a couple of books for an ILL attempt, one appeared very familiar. As it turned out, I had previously received, partially copied, and returned this book. Since something similar happened a month or so ago, I decided to inventory/index my goldrush era diaries - journals - reminiscences & collateral references. It may interest that I have acquired ALL these references within this past YEAR, either directly from listmembers, or from their leads:-)) On most liberry books, I copied less than the entire book - only selected parts. Also, for my early postings, I failed to copy ANY of the liberry book:-(((((((((. NOW, I would like to share a list of these books in two posts. But, before I itemize the books, I would like to recognize the folks who have helped in their acqusition. .With my leaky, once totally destroyed, archives, I have had to rely for folks' names on my somewhat faulty memory and penciled address book notes. I'm sure I've forgot some helpers - really sorry. But, in ALPHABETICAL(I hope:-) order, are the some who have directly, or indirectly, helped me get my California book stuff: ,ALICE [email protected]> BARBARA <[email protected]>, BENRPIERCE @worldnet.att.net>, BETTY <[email protected]>,BETTY <[email protected], CAROLYN<[email protected]>, CHRISS<chrisso @sierratel.com>, CHRISTY <[email protected]>, CINDY [email protected]>, DAN<wb<wvi.com>,ELLEN <[email protected]>, EMERSON <[email protected]>, GEORGE <[email protected]>, HARRIET <[email protected]>, JEANNE <[email protected]>, JIM <[email protected]>, JIM<[email protected]>, JOAN<[email protected], JOE<[email protected]>, JUDY <[email protected]>, KAREN <[email protected]>, LEWIS <[email protected]>, NAN <[email protected]>, NANCY <[email protected]>, PAT <[email protected]>, PATRICIA, <[email protected]>, RITA<Go [email protected]>, ROLO<[email protected]> RUTHIE <[email protected], SHARON <[email protected]>, TAMMY <[email protected]>, SANDRA <[email protected]>, SANDY <[email protected]>, STEVE <[email protected]> , [email protected], TOM<[email protected]>.
