Autograph Manuscript of Otis Lockhart, housed in 12 folio ledgers, Los Angeles, 1898-1917, containing both detailed balance sheets and daily journals of business and family activities, some covers loss, loss to several spines, leaves toned and loose but legible. An interesting archive of journals belonging to an important early Los Angeles businessman. Otis Lockhart was involved in real estate development, oil drilling, and ranching in the San Fernando Valley. In these journals he records his business activity with the partnership of Lockhart and Leonard as well as the Rodeo Oil Company, giving a first-hand account of the heady days of oil exploration in Southern California. By 1917, Lockhart turns his attention to ranching, and an entire ledger in this archive is dedicated to his successful Holstein breeding program, complete with photographs of the cows.
