Charles Lummis: L.A. Booster

YESTERDAY was L.A.'s uber-booster Charles Lummis' birthday. You all read a little bit about him in David Fine's piece early in the semester -- Lummis and his brave long walk 3,507 miles from Cincinnati to Los Angeles.  Check out this link: http://lahistory.tumblr.com/post/18551953575/happy-birthday-charles-lummis-born-march-1-1859 and you'll find more.

Also, this Tumblr is  actually a really wonderful treasure trove of L.A. history in photographs, a rabbit hole for sure.

Enjoy!

-- L.G.
