Cora Crowley Cumpston letters : Los Angeles, Calif., to Standard Oil Company of California : ALS, 1930 July 5 and 18.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122509043

Two letters from Cumpston to a radio program broadcast in Los Angeles by Standard Oil Company of California, which apparently had featured a story about forty-niners. In the letters, Cumpston claims herself to be a daughter of G.B. Crowley, a pioneer from Mo. who first came to Calif. in 1850, eventually settling at Visalia, Tulare County. The letters give a brief background of Crowley, his wife, and their family at the time of their westward migration. The first letter is addressed to the announcer, Chester Fergerson [sic].
