These digital images are donated to the Korean Heritage Library at the University Park Campus of the University Of Southern California, Los Angeles California, by Corwin/Nellie grandson Ewing Bevard Taylor of Rockville, Maryland.  This project was undertaken by EBT at the behest of journalist Kyung Won Lee of Rancho Cordova, California.  Digital copying work by James Ritchie Jacocks (James Ritchie Associates) of Washington Grove, Maryland.
