Scope and Content

These two are a copy and photostatic copy of a Benicia survey circa 1847 copied in March 1950 from the Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley. These two are 11" x 16" although the copy of the photostatic copy is on larger stock. The survey legend reads Map of the City of Benicia founded by Mariano G Vallejo, Thomas O Larkin and Robert Semple 1847 Surveyed and Drawn by Benjamin W Barlow, City and County Surveyor. This is included in a collection of letters and documents for a forthcoming book published in 1950. Mr Wohlgemuth was contributing chapters to a four volume history of Free Masonry in California which was published in 1950. He was researching Dr. Robert Semple and events of that era. The volumes are available for reference in the Benicia Public Library.
