About LaVerne Larson Notebook About the LaVerne Larson Notebook LaVerne Larson was an avid collector of Humboldt History, especially surrounding her county, her family, and the Swedish community. She researched in a group with Andrew Genzoli and others, and taught Humboldt History to her students. This notebook is her personal collection which ranges from early geology to about 1970. Complete citations appear at the end of the material.
Content includes text, maps, and pictures.
Some photos are from poorly preserved newspaper clippings, and have been improved to the degree allowed by Ofoto, and my limited skill. The text is typed and in the typical errors included which was typical of the days of typewriters, which made it difficult to correct errors. Due to the time which would be required to edit this massive amount of material word by word, we have chosen to circumvent the usual practice of maintaining errors in the material. I have maintained some historic spellings, whenever I recognized them. Some of the students who keyboarded the massive text made every attempt to maintain the original format, and my apologies are extended to them.
