Regarding: Muir books inquiry
Dear Chapters,
This week a person identifying himself as Paul Northrop of El Paso, TX
contacted at least one of our Chapters by email seeking advice about how to
dispose of some books by John Muir from the late 1800s. Northrop was
sentenced in March 2005 to one year in prison for stealing historic
documents from the University of Arizona and the Arizona Historical
Society.
The Special Collections Librarian at the University of Arizona has assured
us that Muir books were not among those stolen from the Arizona collection.
We have no further information, however, regarding how the purported Muir
books got into the hands of Northrop - or, if the author of the emails is
indeed, the same Paul Northrop who was recently convicted.
By this message, we are alerting you to Northrop's background and recommend
that you not respond to his inquiry or any further inquiries from him.
The John Muir Center at the University of the Pacific also has been
notified
by the Club of this inquiry to our chapter.
