Another recent post has reference to Bill and Gurdon Wattles. I was raised on Gurdon's work and found Bill's history and background very interesting. It can be found in the
'California Surveyor Vol. 1 Num. 3". Or here,

Wrote some great guidelines that more need to follow today.
Colorado School of Mines must have been quite the school in those days as Stephen Bradford, engr/surveyor in Placentia CA went there. There is a Bradford Ave in Placentia.
