This collection contains correspondence, financial and publication records, photographs, artifacts, scrapbooks and drafts of articles documenting the history of the Los Angeles Corral of the Westerners. Language of Material: English . Historical Note The first Westerners Corral was established in Chicago in 1944 with the aim of promoting the study and understanding of Western history. Soon, corrals were springing up all over the United States-- and even internationally-- with the Los Angeles corral being established in 1946 by oil executive Homer Britzman--who also was elected founding Sheriff. The last remaining founding member, Glen Dawson, was one of the L.A. Corral's early Sheriffs and was a well-known rock climber, mountaineer, antiquarian bookseller (Dawson's Bookshop in Los Angeles, founded by his father Ernest Dawson), and also served as Director of the Sierra Club from 1937 to 1951. The Los Angeles Corral of the Westerners regularly convenes to hear historians and other speakers present western-related topics as well as to celebrate the western spirit through annual Rendezvous and Fandangos. The Corral has published 22 Brand Books, almost 250 Branding Irons, and numerous other publications. Originally restricted to men, the organization now welcomes and encourages women to participate in the Corral. Scope and Content This collection contains the records of the Los Angeles Corral of the Westerners, including correspondence pertaining to Westerner activities, membership and publications, financial records, the publication records of works published by the group, audiocassettes and DVDs of Westerner programs and lectures, and scrapbooks of photographs of Westerner events. The publication records for the Branding Iron (a quarterly periodical), the Brand Book (an annual or bi-annual monograph length publication) and Keepsakes (irregular publications) include correspondence with authors, drafts of articles including art, floppy and zip disks, and proofs. Artifacts found in the collection include printing plates and a plaque. One of the larger series, the John W. Robinson collection, is comprised of Robinson's subject files, maps, and photographs-- many of which served as research for a number of books that he authored. Arrangement Within series, records are generally arranged in chronological order. Whenever possible, files that were the provenance of individual members were kept together with their original file headings, although sometimes spelled out more completely for clarity.

  • 4.C.2 Archaeological Resources 1
    4.C.2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES 1. INTRODUCTION This section evaluates potential Project impacts on archaeological resources. The scope of work for the assessment included a cultural resource records search conducted through the California Historical Resources Information System (“CHRIS”), South Central Coastal Information Center (“SCCIC”); historical land use research; a Sacred Lands File (“SLF”) search commissioned through the Native American Heritage Commission (“NAHC”); follow‐up Native American consultation; and a review of geotechnical investigations. Results of the SLF search are included in Appendix F‐2, Archaeological Resources Sacred Lands File Records Search Results. Archaeology is the recovery and study of material evidence of human life and culture of past ages. Over time, this material evidence becomes buried, fragmented or scattered, or otherwise hidden from view. Archaeological resources can be identified during a field survey through direct observation and are often found through evaluation of secondary indicators, including the presence of geographic, vegetative, and rock features which are known or thought to be associated with early human life and culture, as well as knowledge of events or material evidence in the surrounding area. In urban areas such as the Project Site and environs, archaeological resources may include both prehistoric remains (before 1769 A.D.) and remains dating to the historical period (1769 to 1950 A.D.). Prehistoric (or Native American) archaeological resources are physical properties resulting from human activities that predate written records and are generally identified as isolated finds or sites. Prehistoric resources can include village sites, temporary camps, lithic (stone tool) scatters, rock art, roasting pits/hearths, milling features, rock features, and burials.

  • Brief History of the Tesla Area
    Brief History of the Tesla Area Dan L. Mosier Thousands of years ago, the Yokuts, Ohlones, and probably other Native American tribes inhabited the Tesla area. They came for the abundant game and plant food, and established seasonal villages along stream courses. In 1776, Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza passed through the Corral Hollow region while on his return trip to Monterey. De Anza camp number 102 was designated at Tesla by a plaque erected in 1976 during the Bicentennial Celebration of that famous trek. Because of the strong winds prevalent in the canyon, de Anza named it "El Arroyo de los Buenos Aires," or Creek of the Good Winds. Early Mexican vaqueros later established a well-known trail called "El Camino Viejo" through Corral Hollow which was to connect San Antonio (Oakland) with San Pedro (Los Angeles). It was along this trail that the vaqueros ran cattle and wild mustangs and held them in temporary corrals before being herded down the trail to Mexico. In 1846, Captain Charles Imus and his party of emigrants, who parted from the Donner party at Fort Bridger, made a winter camp in the mouth of Corral Hollow. Like the Mexican vaqueros, Captain Imus also captured wild horses and built corrals until he was ordered by landowner Antonio Pico to leave for trespassing. These abandoned horse corrals were noticed by the Argonauts traveling over El Camino Viejo on their way to the gold fields, and the canyon soon became known as "Corral Hollow." In 1850, Horatio Wright, John Stockholm, William Breyton, and Edward B.

  • 09 Appendix H Cultural Resources
    1 Appendix H Cultural Resources 2 Cultural resources may be defined as any building, structure, object, or location of past 3 human activity, occupation, or use that may be identified through documentary evidence, 4 oral history, inventory survey, or subsurface investigation. They may include 5 archaeological sites, traditional cultural properties or tribal cultural resources, or 6 structures within the built environment. This chapter discusses the affected environment 7 of cultural resources in the Reach 4B, Eastside Bypass, and Mariposa Bypass Channel 8 and Structural Improvements Project (Reach 4B/ESB Project) area and the potential 9 environmental impacts of the Reach 4B/ESB Project alternatives. This chapter also 10 provides an analysis of potential cumulative effects to cultural resources. 11 A Programmatic Agreement (PA) is being developed for the San Joaquin River 12 Restoration Program (SJRRP) by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of 13 Reclamation (Reclamation), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and 14 consulting parties, including Native American tribes, for compliance with Section 106 of 15 the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The PA will provide a framework for 16 conducting the Section 106 process, including mitigation and review protocols, for the 17 Reach 4B/ESB Project and for the SJRRP as a whole. 18 H.1 Regional Setting 19 The area of analysis or Area of Potential Effects (APE) for cultural resources includes all 20 areas of potential disturbance associated with each of the Reach 4B/ESB Project action 21 alternatives, and it was defined as the area between the largest levee or setback 22 alignments for Reach 4B1 and the Middle Eastside Bypass.
