Hi again group, Nancy Howard asked if I would clarify and elaborate on my project so here goes: My History will cover the area from Allen Avenue on the West, North to the foothills, East to Sierra Madre (and including some of Sierra Madre¹s early history and people), and down to the southern boundary of Pasadena along what is now San Marino. I will be covering the families with Southern heritage like the Johnsons, Griffins, and Chapmans. The British families of Allen, Fox, Praeger, Sutton, and some of the British families that settled in Sierra Madre. The East Coast Society families of Rhoades, Cogswell, Kinney, Murray, Crank, Brigden and others. Again the period will cover between 1850 and 1900. Also early history of San Gabriel (however this will be very brief and serve only to introduce the reader to what led up to settlement in East Pasadena). The main village at the time was Lamanda Park which was subdivided by L.J. Rose form his Sunny Slope Ranch in 1885. Brief topics will include Sports and Pastimes, the Citrus and grape industries, and the Chinese laboring class. My biggest challenge is locating unpublished photos of the area and its people, preferably from individuals rather than the large repository archives like the Huntington, Pasadena Museum of History, etc., as they charge for the use of photos from their collections and this is proving to be a rather heavy expense. I welcome any input. Thank you, Gregory McReynolds Pasadena, California
