My maternal grandfather, Henry Mathis, reportedly died in the St. Francis Dam tragedy, along with his (second) wife and two children. I have also been told he was employed as an engineer at Powerhouse No. 2. I am interested in obtaining definitive information regarding these reports; any assistance is appreciated.

A Great web site. I know I will spend alot of time with this. I have always enjoyed researching and visiting old historical sites and mines [gold]. Acton is full of them. Some with tunnels as deep as 500 feet and branch out 9 miles. The old grave site off Sand Canyon is great to visit this time of year the wild flowers are all blooming. >>> Another good reference is SAGA OF RANCHO EL TEJON by Frank F Latta Bear State Books. Lots of old photographs and information about Don Jose Jesus Lopez. Old cowboy tack and equipment. The book can be found in Bakersfield Pioneer Village or Fort Teton store.

I read about your Web site in the Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research monthly newsletter. As I am interested in genealogy and California history I found your site most interesting (many stories and pictures). Next time I am on my way to Los Angeles I will definitely stop in the Santa Clarita Valley and do some "exploring". I work at West Hills Community College and have shared your site with some of our geography/California History instructors. Again, congratulations on your wonderful site.

Very thorough & interesting website. The widespread development in formerly remote spots such as Pico Cyn, Sand Cyn, etc. is distressing, but you've provided a valuable service by preserving the SCV history in photos and personal accounts. I'm a '72 graduate of Hart High.

We moved into the Santa Clarita Valley in May 2000 and I am extremely interested in the valley's history. I would like to know more about the area now occupied by Old Orchard II development and it's history.

I am glad to hear about the Bell from the Elem. School. I was wondering about the placque that my Sixth Grade class presented to the school for the bell platform? The placque was from the San Francisque Dam disaster honoring the ones that died. It was on a headstone that was in our cow in Saugus at the Old Saugus Club House.

Great site. I spent alot of my younger days in and around Sand Canyon on my uncle's ranch. Many great memories. He owned the ranch from around 56 through late 80's. I remmember one place we would go jeeping. It was an old cemetary near Sand Canyon road sitting on a hill next to the freeway. Keep up the great work!

I have learned that a spanish family used to own much of the land in and around the Castaic area many, many years ago. The family was 'rubbed-out' in order to claim this land. Are there any records of this? Any stories?

The photo of the man shown on your web-site at the following address: http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/wr5407.htm is not Dan White as you have stated. Dan White was my grandfather, and he was in the movie "Suddenly", but that is not him. My grandfather was in over 200 movies (I have found approx 120 titles so far), and many of them were filmed in, and around the Newhall area. I do not know who the man shown in the photo is, but it is not my grandfather. Thank you.

This site is wonderful! I grew up in Long Beach CA., daughter of Vernon "Gabby" Garrison. Dad raced at Saugus Speedway for many years, and was a favorite to many racing fans. I have fond memories of those Saturday nights at the track and of listening to the many versions of the evenings events, while enjoying a generous portion of chile spaghetti at Saugus Cafe. To some, this was a weekly ritual, but to my family, it was a way of life. It was a sad day when the track was closed permanently, just a few years ago. We also took occasional trips to Vasquez Rocks for picnics and hikes. It's no wonder I made Santa Clarita my home of choice. I would like to see more written about Saugus Speedway and the many racers who came and left there through the years.

My father, Charles Joe Raggio, was one of seven sons born to the union of Frank D. Raggio and Fern Sotelo. He and his brothers were raised on the Raggio Ranch in San Francisquito Canyon where they produced their own wines, honey and raised their own beef. Mr. Raggio was an invaluable resource and great source of knowledge regarding the construction and subsequent failure of the St. Francis Dam.

I grew up in Newhall/Saugus and attended Sulphur Springs Elementary, Placerita Junior High, Arroyo Seco Jr Hi & W S Hart High School. Our family moved to Newhall in 1961. Our first residence was near the intersection of Soledad and Mint Canyon, not far from Dillenbecks Market on the northwest corner of intersection ( Solemint Junction). My father, brother and myself were members of Boy Scout Troop 48 in Saugus. Graduated from W S Hart 1969. Best friends were/are; Steve Ballard, Bon Collins, Gale Chatham, Dave Nardiello, Dennis & Lee Reisinger, Lloye Maness, Dennis Morgan, Val King, Francine Whitmire, Carol Lund, Lonnie Cherry and brother John, Gary Dickensheets, Terry Lovis, Butch Peckinpaw, Bill Shepard, Earl (Bill) W Hedlund II, Frank Moore, Cathy Cacitore, Donna Schnieder, Steve Arklin; son of Geronimo, Wayne Holdaway, Ron Beckham, Jim Vericker, Steve Kronick, Bud Houston, Bill Litchen, David, Bruce, Scott & Philip Petrie, Lori Mann, Gail Tierney, Turtle, Tammi & Donna Edwards, Glen Garren, Sergio (the biker), Chuck Lobdell, Barry Breggar, Kathy Kier (first love), Nelson Holley, Roy Knight, and hundreds of others whom I miss very much. I'll be back some day and live somewhere up in Mint Canyon near the Old Halfway House Restaurant. By the way; I would like to remember my best friend Glen Stuart, who died in 1967/8 by the hands of a drunk driver, and "Hoot Owl" killed while driving back from Nevada.

My wife owns a unopened package of 20 Mule Team Borax "team". The package has the orginal mailing address and all components are still in the plastic containers. Her mother bought two sets, she built one, which her sister now has on a mantel and the other belongs to my wife which is in the original package as sent out by the Borax company between 1945 - 1948.
