The Observations of Benjamin Cummings Truman on El Camino Real (Los Angeles miscellany ; 10) - Softcover
In 1903, Michael Rieder published Benjamin Cummings Truman's pictorial treatise on the Missions of California. Truman did not incorporate the informative notes and observations which he had earlier published, in newspaper form, after a 3 month investigative tour of the missions in 1867. Truman's observations are here reproduced in the scrapbook of clippings from the Los Angeles Star, the southland's first newspaper.
