Joyce: Have you examined the references to Breamer's Ranch and the Indian battles in and around it, and the map that shows the location. All in the book: The Humboldt Bay Region 1850-1875 by Owen C. Coy? I can photocopy the relevant pages for you, if you wish. If so, I will need your mailing address. The book is also available from the Humboldt County Historical Society, I believe. I won my copy at last December's ANnual Luncheon, as a raffle prize. Regards, DOn Tunison-Campbell Eureka, Humboldt County Joyce Glover wrote: > > Looking for information on John W.
