Sketch maps of Placerville Road for manuscript [undated]. 3 items

Description: This collection is divided into two main parts, both arranged alphabetically. The documents relate to various aspects of Henry Warren Johnson's life and work. The bulk of the documents are notes for his manuscript, "The Story of Placerville Road." This manuscript, along with the accompanying notes and documents, chronicles his experiences traveling around California, while narrating the history of California's modernization. Other documents in the collection relate to his other book projects, his bird-banding expeditions, and his version of the history of the Post Office's entrance into California. The correspondence is largely Henry Warren Johnson's accounts of his automobile trips in California and the Pacific Northwest. According to his letters, he and his sister travelled to Morro Bay, Monterey, San Diego, Mammoth Lake, Bouquet Canyon, and Sequoia Park, all of which are in California. He also vacationed near the Columbia River in Oregon. The collection also includes several letters between Johnson and J.J. Brockliss about the Brockliss Bridge in Nevada. The last bit of correspondence relates to his political views about democracy, Roosevelt, and the economic state of the world. There are also two ephemera folders, one containing sketch maps for a manuscript and the other comprising of various printed material such as tourists' maps and newspaper clippings.
