Scope & Content |
Correspondence by Winfield Scott related to the Butano Forest State Park Association, 1931-1932. The Butano Forest State Park Association's goal was, "To take such lawful measures as are deemed best by the membership of the Association, and by its officers, necessary to bring about the creation of a State Park in San Mateo County, California; and more particularly in that portion of the county generally known and described as the Butano Forest." Letters are organized chronologically in descending order. They begin on August 17, 1932 and go back to November 1931 around the time of the Association's formation. Much of the discussion pertains to properties for inclusion as a State Park including those owned by the Western Shore Lumber Company, Timothy Hopkins, and others. Most letters are addressed to Mrs. W. C. Van Antwerp of Hillsborough. |
