Thanks Don--- and also thanks for the hint to add Johnson's _Yosemite Grant_ to the county bibliography!! The centennial of FDR's visit-1903- and the recreation of his trip up to the park from Raymond is planned- I bet Grant Spring will be part of the route- thank goodness you guys (Thanks to Tom also) helped me out on this! Historic Sites and Records Preservation Commission is going to be involved in some way of assistance for this reenactment- I believe the event is under the direction of the CLAMPERS!! Sounds like a party to me:-) Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: Don Rose <darose@yosemite.net> To: Carolyn Feroben <Sweetwater@Sierratel.com>; CAMARIPO-L@rootsweb.com <CAMARIPO-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, May 26, 2001 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [CAMARIPO] Grant Springs ? >I have a copy of a map that I got from the Library of Congress with Grant >Springs... > > " Map of Mariposa County California compiled and issued by the State >Mining Bureau, Ferry Building, San Francisco, Lewis E.
