It would be Lawrence E Davies’ office’ for 29 years in what many of his peers considered the best reporting assignment in the world. His beat included northern California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii. The report of his death in the New York Times indicated that the files at The Times had over four thousand articles reported with his by- line and additionally, an estimated four thousand unsigned articles. He was held in such high regard, The Times reported, that he was "called by the National Geographic Society a few years ago, a San Francisco landmark along with the Golden Gate Bridge." He had a vast acquaintance among people in all walks of life throughout the West. His private thoughts were kept quiet, even from his family. He typed each thought and placed the typed sheet in a cardboard container. Several years after his death, the container and the fascinating thoughts of the man, so well placed and sensitive to information regarding life in the U.S. during World War II, were discovered by his son Gilbert.
