Harry W. Crosby
Harry W. Crosby (born 1926 in Seattle, Washington) is an American historian and photographer. His parents moved to La Jolla in 1935. He graduated from La Jolla High School in 1944, and studied math and science at Occidental College in Los Angeles, completing a double major in pre-med and psychology. After twelve years as a teacher of secondary-level science, mostly chemistry, he took up photography, and in 1967, was hired as a photographer to illustrate the book ''The Call to California'' for the Commission of the Californias, commemorating California's bicentennial. Following the route of the Portolá expedition of 1769 to make photos to illustrate a text derived from diaries of the trekkers, Crosby rode 600 miles on muleback on remote trails. Since then, he has continued to do primary research and to write extensively on the history and cave paintings of Baja California and the early history of Alta California.〔Karen Kenyon, ("Tracking the Hispanic Roots of California" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', April 12, 1987.〕
His books include: ''The Cave Paintings of Baja California: Discovering the Great Murals of an Unknown People'' (Copley Books, 1975, reissued by Sunbelt Publications, San Diego, 1997);〔Mark Rose, ("Cave Paintings of Baja California" ), ''Archeology'', December 30, 1998.〕〔John Roach, ("Baja California Rock Art Dated to 7,500 Years Ago" ), ''National Geographic News'', July 17, 2003.〕 ''Gateway to Alta California: The Expedition to San Diego, 1769'' (Sunbelt, 2004), which was a finalist for the 2003 Southern California Booksellers Association award;〔Renee Tawa, ("Parker wins top prize for fiction" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', October 27, 2003.〕 and ''Antigua California: Mission and Colony on the Peninsula Frontier, 1697-1768'' (University of New Mexico Press, 1996),〔James D. Reilly, "(Antigua California: Mission and Colony on the Peninsular Frontier, 1697-1768 )", ''The Catholic Historical Review'', January 1, 1999. 〕 which won the 1995 Caroline Bancroft History Prize from the Denver Public Library.〔(Caroline Bancroft History Prize ), Denver Public Library (accessed 2012-06-20).〕 Some of Crosby's early photography is collected in the book ''Tijuana 1964: A Photographic and Historic View'' (SDSU Press, 2000); and his only novel is ''Portrait of Paloma'' (Sunbelt, 2001).
His son is the late Robbin Crosby, best known for his tenure as lead guitarist of the rock band Ratt.
