Notes
  • In 1853 Lieutenant R. S. Williamson was ordered to explore for routes. along which rail service could be extended from the Mississippi River to the southern California coast. The geologist-mineralogist attached to Williamson's Pacific Railroad Survey team was twenty-seven year old, Yale-educated William P. Blake. Blake's servey observations, including maps, profiles, sketches, and water color plates, are collected in a hefty volume, which was pubJ:ished originally by the War Department as a part of the expedition's report and reprinted subsequently by a private publisher.
