just listened to the first half of you Baby John episode. Very cool. I actually live in Redding which is 40 miles from Weaverville. The irony is, I have a history podcast and have been compiling for an episode about Isabella. She was a real piece of work. Baby John is buried in Junction City near Weaverville (you probably already know that) and I'm going out there to the grave site this weekend hopefully.
