Here is a listing of the libraries of the CILC- California Indian Library Collection: In general, the California Indian Library Collections (CILC) for a specific county are located at the main county library. However, in some cases the collections have been placed at a branch library where they are more accessible to the Native Californian population. Below is a list with addresses of the California State Library and the county libraries where CILC collections are housed: http://www.mip.berkeley.edu/cilc/bibs/locations.html also see this site: Bibliographies of Northern and Central California Indians http://www.mip.berkeley.edu/cilc/bibs/toc.html Good hunting!

Someone sent a fabulous link recently and because of all my email problems I can't find it! It was the link to a page where you type in "CAMARIPO" and a page appears with 1998, 1999, and 2000 where you can search old messages off the mailing list.

Mrs. Hattie C. BURNETT, beloved wife of Thomas H. Burnett of Goff station, near Exchequer, Mariposa county, died on the 9th inst. The lady was aged 35 years and 10 months. Beside the sorrowing husband, five children and several brothers and sisters are left to mourn her untimely end, as well as a wide circle of friends. --Merced County Sun, January 15, 1915, page five. -------------------- My grandmother, whom I never got to know but know I would have loved. She was survived by children: Thomas Jr., age 13; Winona, age 11; Katie, age 9; Frank, age 6; and Mary, age 4. Also survived by brothers and sisters: Lizzie Grant Hansen, Edwin C. Goff, William Goff, and Katherine Ann Simpson Ollrich. Cause of death was pneumonia. Joan in San Jose

Last night, I was reading what Carl Russell had to say about Major SAVAGE in "100 Years in Yosemite" -- really good book, well documented. James SAVAGE had a white wife and daughter who died on the wagon train trip out to California. Russell was in touch with some second cousins to get information about Savage's background. Now, it is well known that James SAVAGE had five Indian wives that he "married" from the various bands who were helping him with his trading post. SAVAGE was shot to death by a white man in 1852. Some of the Indians mourned him, while the Yosemite Miwoks seemed to despise him. My question is this: Did James SAVAGE have any offspring from his five Indian wives? Who were the wives, did they have names? Are there any known descendants from James SAVAGE? The only "Savage" I found on the Indian census in the Madera GenWeb was the first name of a Savage LEWIS. No Indians with SAVAGE surname in those lists. Does anybody know? Joan in San Jose

-----Original Message----- From: Harriet Sturk [mailto:harriet@madnet.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 7:21 AM To: CAMADERA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAMADERA] Nathan SWEET, Mariposa & Madera Historian Just a heads-up for Mariposa & Madera researchers to check out at the Library. Found this snippet in the paper yesterday. Twenty-fives years ago today: Funeral service for Nathan SWEET have been set for Monday. Sweet was a local historian who was considered an authority on the development of Madera and Mariposa Counties. He and his widow were Grand Marshals of the Sierra Mountaineer Days parade in 1971. I know he was involved in the Fresno Flats and Madera Museums and probably Mariposa. I know he wrote many books and articles about Madera and Mariposa. If you get a chance check out the Museum and Library. Perhaps they have some of his work there. Harriet

Below is a description of a book selling on Ebay. C. Gregory Crampton did an excellent job editing Eccleston's diary when he was in Mariposa County. I have a copy of this book and it is one of my favorites on the discovery of the Yosemite Valley. The current bid is $21.00. I think this book is sold by our local History Center, however, I don't know for how much. After checking some of the antiquarian book searches on the net, this seems to be a reasonable price. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=466264306 "The Mariposa Indian War 1850-1851" - Diaries of Robert Eccleston: The California Gold Rush, Yosemite, and the High Sierra - Univ. of Utah Pres, Copyright 1957, Reprint Edition 1975. Unread and mint condition, this fine book is a wonderful history of California's greatest times highlighting the California Gold Rush and discovery of our most beautiful National Park, as well as the history of the indigenous peoples of the area. Buyer pays actual shipping via USPS priority mail. Don Mariposa

WOW!!! This is incredible information and looks like a LOT of work. Thank you Melanie for contributing this!!! Sharon

The idea of public camp grounds to accommodate Yosemite visitors became apparent about 1878. The commissioners set aside a piece of land that was part of the old LAMON property in the vicinity of the present Ahwahnee Hotel. Mr A. HARRIS was granted the position of administrator for this new venture. He grew fodder for the animals, offered stable facilities, sold provisions and rented equipment to this new breed of tourist. The HARRIS Camp Ground was the forerunner of the public auto camps, and housekeeping camps. The register , kept for comments of campers, was presented to the Yosemite Museum by the HARRIS descendants. ================== the above extracted from _100 Years in Yosemite_

100 Years in Yosemite ( a really neat book!) has these entries in the timeline: 1930 "Live Indian Exhibit" institued on Yosemite Museum grounds; project made possible by the cooperation of the Yosemite Natural History Association. Maggie Howard, "Ta-bu-ce" of the Monos , was engaged to demonstrate modes of Indian life(USNPS, 1930, p. 168; YNN, 1933,pp. 14-16) 1947 Maggie Howard, "Ta-bu-ce", a principal character in Yosemite Indian demonstration, died at Mono Lake. (Kittridge, 1947). Carolyn

Hey! I just found out today (thank you, Harriet) that Maria LEBRADO (Totuya, granddaughter of Chief Tenaya and known as "the last survivor") had a daughter named Mary LEONARD. I checked out the 1928 Indian Register and found a whole family of Indian people named LEONARD. So here is the question: Can anyone fill us in on this family, lines of descent, etc? Any descendants around today? Were these Indian Leonards related to Zenas Leonard, who made the trip in 1833 with Capt Joseph Walker? I think it's possible some folks may have misunderstood what was meant by calling Maria Lebrado the "last survivor." It did not mean she was the last of the Yosemite Miwoks. It meant she was the last one living who was there when the Mariposa Battalion went into Yosemite Valley. Even though young, she was an eye-witness to many events, including the death of Tenaya. Apparently there were several interviewers who recorded Maria Lebrado's memories, including Carl Russell and Mrs. H.J. Taylor. There is also supposed to be a transcript by May S. Corcoran at the Yosemite Museum. Do you suppose they would let us have a copy of it? Joan

Mel, The marriage records you sent today are great and the Intent to Naturalize will be another fabulous addition. Thank you and Carolyn for all your contributions to the information on the list. Guess Carolyn will have to deputize you along with William D. Harriet

Carolyn, what a coincidence! I just received that book in today's mail -- looked at the photos and read the first chapter. It does look like a very good read!

Hi Folks- I just found out that I was not mailed the latest edition of the Mariposa History Center Bulletin, the Sentinel. I have been looking forward to seeing our listmember Gary's article on his Phillips family. I contacted the editor and she will be sending me a copy-! Now it is time to get a new volunteer for the next edition- deadline is January-Ben Pierce, I believe you are next in the line of volunteers- please let me know if you are still interested! Thanks, Carolyn
