I have all of Harry's books - and some are tattered from years of reading - and use. In August 2015, Harry helped me map the 800-mile walk along the old Jesuit trail from Loreto to the Border, starting October 23, 2015 at Mision Loreto and finishing at the San Diego border on December 24, 2015. And Harry was the first to read the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of "The Mission Walker" (HarperCollins/ Thomas Nelson); his insight about the people and places along the old ECR was invaluable. .. I ran into Paul Ganster (Harry's scribe) at Rancho La Puerta a few years ago, and it was a delight to meet him and share stories of our El Camino Real de las Californias adventures.
What a lovely surprise to see your comments here. Harry and his work touched so many lives. Paul G is such a great guy. And Rancho La Puerta is my idea of heaven!
Great article, Jenny! Thanks for posting. I bought a couple of his books years ago to read while I lived on the Baja peninsula from 2007-2011. They were informative, educational, and entertaining. Best regards.
I loved this post, Jennifer, and loved hearing about Harry Crosby. What fun it must have been for you and Russel to have known and worked with him all those years. Really happy for you to have had that experience. Those kinds of things come around so rarely. Also, I love the cover of the book that Russel painted the cover for. It's truly a beauty.
