Description
A.G. Walker was a stenographer and bookkeeper who worked for Henry Edwards Huntington and William Dunn in the Los Angeles Railway offices. He began his employment on May 30, 1903. His reminiscences are hazy at this late date, but they are focused on the regional railways – its leadership and finances – and the relationship with Henry Huntington and William Dunn. Interview conducted by Robert O. Schad and "Mr. Brown" on March 23, 1960. A transcript of this interview is available in the Henry Edwards Huntington Papers collection.
