Hey folks, I recently returned from a brief trip to CA where I finally managed to spend a day at the Bancroft Library. (Only one though... not enough time!) Anyway, I ran across some early Mariposa newspaper information which I will pass along in a couple of posts. I also found they had a microfilm copy of the "Mountain View House Register" (June 1870-Oct. 1874) with additional entries (June 1878) of the Mountain View House, Yosemite Road, Mariposa Co. which was owned by Charles E. Peregoy in 1953. Now, I believe that this register is now in the Mariposa Museum - does anyone know if this is correct? If the Museum does now own this register, then perhaps they can give the Bancroft library permission to make copies from the microfilm up there. (The Bancroft library will not let copies to be made because they need permission from the current owners of the book). Anyway, that is all for now. - Mike White

Mike, you are a lucky guy! Bancroft! They do hold some Mariposa Treasures. Hope you found what you were looking for.......... And thanks so much for taking time from your own search to find these wonderful tidbits to share with us listfriends! I want you to know that I recently learned that there is a DE MOSS Cemetery in the Whiterock area..........I have no index or other details........
