Well, the important lesson for me was "Get it in
writing!"  My great-uncle was a photographer and
purportedly took many pictures of the 1906 earthquake.
 As "the family historian," my grandmother repeatedly
promised me those photos before she passed away but
she didn't put it in writing, and I didn't think to
take possession before she left the face of this
earth.  It was a real loss for me.

With respect to the information you are looking,
however, I queried and found the following links:

A query of the American History magazine archives
produced numerous links.  Hopefully this will take you
there:
