Subject: Fw: 1927 Canvas Map of CA
The following was received through Roadmaps-L. I would like to be included
in any replies to Mr. Armour as the Jo Mora maps are of great interest to
several people with whom I have contact.
I checked Lib. of Congress and UC Berkely catalogues without any success and
don't have access to WorldCat from home.
