I have a copy of "Historical Souvenir of El Dorado County California" originally dated 1883 by Paolo Sioli, Publisher. Eventually I will be transcribing the biographies printed in this book. This book was reprinted in 1998 thanks to the El Dorado County Friends of the Library. For now, feel free to contact me and I will look in the book for what you are searching...
