"Zweifel Aug. 25, 1950 This morning we talked with Mr. Harvey who has lived in this region many, many years. He is quite familiar with all of the region's animals, and even has copies of Schmidt & Davis and Hobart Smith in his new room home. He was here when Berry Campbell found Liana Carcharumae. He knows Dr. Miller, Dr. Atwood, Joe Stern and all of the rest who have been here. He informed us that York's Spring was named for York Bartlett, who was killed at that locality by the Apaches in the 1880's. No one has lived there since then. Harvey attribute[d] deterioration of the adobe[s] at York's spring to time, rather than underground destruction. Both Harvey and Forsyth collect[ed] specimens for William Woodin. Forsyth has a Salvadora and a Gerthonotus kingii for Woodin. This elevation (about 7000') is rather low for Gerthonotus kingii. We captured a Salvadora helalepis deserticola while walking back from Mr. Harvey's place.
