Comments from Mr. Washington:

Hi Bennie,
Thank you for developing a forum on African American pioneers on the
Western Frontier. This area needs much work and I have attached a copy of my research on black pioneers in California. I don't know if you can post this rather lengthy document, which now contains over 1,000 citings.

Take care,
Guy
