My daughter and I do extensive family history research. My mother's uncle, Hugh Grasz, died at Ft. Walla Walla, WA in 1910. He is buried there. We know very little about him. Several years ago in corresponding with the Walla Walla genealogical society we found out that Hugh married Katherine R. Peasner. He then died just two years later. I was searching the internet today to see if I could locate her in census records and possibly find out if she remarried. In my search I came across this website and read about her father William Peasner. This is absolutely fascinating! Would you be willing to give me permission to use your information on my website? I will give you complete credit for all the information contained in your article.

]]> Comment on Rare Stevenson Journal Paints An Enchanting City of Saints by Will Gorenfeld http://musketoon.com/2010/07/19/stevenson-journal-salt-lake-city-1854/comment-page-1/#comment-1698 Will Gorenfeld Wed, 02 Feb 2011 03:44:39 +0000 http://musketoon.com/?p=468#comment-1698 I turned some of my Stevenson research over to the family's website. Have you seen it? If not I can send it to you. I'm intrigued by his brief reference to a trip he took to Nicaragua to see about participating in Walker's takeover. Do you have any knowledge of this incident? Stevenson obviously wrote this manuscript years after he left the military and it's hard to separate truth from confused memory and folklore. One think is for certain--he crossed the country and was stationed at Ft. Tejon, California 1854-56. My plan is to include some of his passages in a forthcoming book I'm writing for the University of New Mexico Press. At a later date, I shall attempt to have the whole manuscript published in a historical journal. Will I turned some of my Stevenson research over to the family’s website. Have you seen it?
