AbstractSeveral years ago Mr. Ralph M. Wyser came into possession of three old ledger books of the Independent Order of Red Men. . . The minutes ledger is in old German handwriting. . . of a group here in Los Angeles [and] seems to have begun on 21 February 1905. Includes a photocopy of the page of the "Erster Protokoll" with a translation. The other books are a ledger of financial records and a correspondence file. "Some letters were correspondence with a state headquarters in San Francisco, CA." The ledgers may be donated to the Improved Order of Red Men at their National Headquarters at the Red Men Museum and Library at Waco, Texas.
