"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.
