• I was fascinated by the biographical sketch of Daniel Webster Harrier that you found on your Vacaville expedition. It is remarkable that you could remember my interest in him; the sketch significantly increases my knowledge of the old gentleman. It confirms census data of 1860 which places him in Wet Ravine, Forest City, Sierra County with his first wife, Mary Antonia. No children are listed.976
