http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt038nc4wm

The Daniel Freeman Family Papers richly document the business and development enterprises of Daniel Freeman (1837-1918), one of California's major land developers and businessmen in the late nineteenth century. Besides Daniel Freeman, this collection also contains extensive business records for Charles Howland (b. 1863, d.?) and Grace Freeman Howland (1870-1956), Daniel Freeman's son-law and daughter. The collection contains extensive documentation on the California land boom of the 1880s, principally in Inglewood but also for Redondo Beach and Port Ballona. The Freeman papers also contain some materials on downtown Los Angeles. The holdings are also strong in California agribusiness in the late nineteenth century.
