Background

Biographical / historical:

Henry F. "Harry" Cassidy was an auctioneer and traveling salesman based in Stockton California during the first decade of the twentieth century. His sales "territory" seems to have been the Mountain states: Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Montana. While traveling in the region he wrote to family and friends about life in the region (1902-1913). [Ms2.C345]

Little is known about writer Harry G. Clarke save that he lived in Twain Hart (Calif.) and wrote a "cowboy novel" titled Buffalo Grass (1953). [Ms2.C599]

J. J. Couturier was a placer miner in the Montana District near Empire, Clear Creek County, Colo. (c1890-1910). He had a son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Angelita Towlerton, to whom he tried to leave a claim, the Klondike Placer, in which he owned a half-interest. Correspondence in the Couturier Papers indicate that his ownership of this claim was disputed after his death by the Bellevue Hudson Company, which apparently took over the diggings and denied Couturier heirs access to the property. [Ms2.C871]
