The writings of Arthur W. North ,("Camp and Camino in Lower
California", "The Mother of California") have left me with a thirst to
find additional works and more about the man himself.
This proved to be a somewhat difficult task as many of his work
were not widely published. I did once find a photograph of his taken
while he was in Mexico at the Hall of the Monoliths. It was on ebay
and snatched up before I could bid.
My curiosity led me to the Walton Heritage website where I
saw a picture of a monument made to Mr. North
which read in part "lost on a canoe venture
on the Genesee." or something to that effect
.
I began a search and finally round about found this.

It may take a bit to load up.It is a 1.24mb PDF of the front
page of the local newspaper.
