Download or read book Rural State and Province Series Rural California Classic Reprint written by Edward J. Wickson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural State and Province Series Rural California The purpose of this writing is to convey impressions of the characters, qualities and activities of California rural life and industries. It attempts to sketch formative conditions both of natural situations and resources and of factors influencing local individualism and sociology. It also presents, with some detail of character and method, concrete agricultural achievements which are unique in American progress. Thus it is hoped to reveal the characteristics of the rural life through which natural conditions have been translated into industrial accomplishment. Two reasons may be cited as justifying this effort. First, it has not been hitherto undertaken in a comprehensive way. Second, California is so young that more than two-thirds of the whole span of her life as an American state have passed under the adult observation of the writer; and his knowledge of the preceding portion was chiefly derived from personal acquaintance with those who had participated as young men in its earliest enterprises and continued their efforts for the upbuilding of the state for several decades - many of them enduring until the dawning of the present century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judge Lynch: A Tale of the California Vineyards There was a puzzled, grieved expression on the sheriff's face as he stepped forward and laid his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Jack Scott, you are my prisoner." Jack started and shivered a little. Arrest on a charge of murder is fortunately a rare experience, and of a kind to shock the strongest nerves. But arrest at this time and place meant something worse than suspicion, confinement, and the long suspense of a trial. The young man knew this, and his mind grasped in a moment the whole significance of the situation, with the lightning speed of thought in moments of peril. For this isolated little community of San Pablo, forty miles from railroad or telegraph, cut off by the precipitous coast range from the rest of California - even from the rest of its own county - was a law unto itself. The village nestled in a narrow plain; on one side the broad Pacific, on the other the mountains clothed on their western slope with the clustered vines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of California Several of the stories endeavor to explain the remarkable physical characteristics of California. The work to this end was rendered lighter by the hope that the reader might find the book merely an introduction to that larger knowledge of personal observation and inquiry. But the writer's chief aim has been to interest the children of California in the beautiful land of their birth, to unfold to them the life and occurrences of bygone days, and to lead them to note and to enjoy their fortunate surroundings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a California Pioneer This book of Recollections was entirely written after I had passed my eighty-eighth birthday, the chief inducement to the undertaking being a desire on my part to leave to my children, my grandchildren, and their posterity a story of my long life. There will, therefore, be found in these pages some things that will prove of little or no interest to the average reader; but these purely personal passages are, I trust, few in number, and they may be readily skipped. That all my readers will give full credence to everything that is hereinafter related is more than I can reasonably expect; but this consideration does not militate against the truth of the statement I now make: that, however extravagant, however extraordinary, some of the incidents here referred to may appear, I have endeavored to give a truthful narrative, and that, while the lapse of years and the infirmities of age have doubtless caused my memory to fail in reference to exact dates, distances, directions, and such trifling matters, I have in all the substantials presented the truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Santa Clara Valley, Puente Hills and Los Angeles Oil Districts, Southern California The Santa Clara Valley of southern California is a structural depression modified by erosion. The heads of the valley lie in the San Gabriel Range and in the mountains to the north, which con neet this range with other portions of the Coast Range and with the Sierras. After a westerly course of 75 miles the stream which drains the valley enters the Pacific a little south of the town of Ventura. The valley proper is given over to agriculture, but in the mountains on either side are many important oil fields.

Download or read book California 46 to 88 Classic Reprint written by Jacob Wright Harlan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California 46 to 88 T is usual for a bookmaker to present himself to his readers by something in way of preface. This might not be needed in the present case were it not that this writer deems it well to apologize for his boldness as an unlettered man, in trying to write a book at all, and also to crave that his frequent use of the first personal pronoun singular may not be set down to vanity, but rather to the fact of its being convenient for stating, briefly, matters personal to himself, and of his own memory and experience. To old Pioneers in the American settlement of California some parts of the following record may appear incorrect, and some may be too familiar or unimportant to be interesting but let each fact be taken as a link in a chain of a California life, and its value, though small, may be acknowledged. It has appeared to this writer that every fact relating to the early settlement of California should be recorded and treasured up in fact, that it is the duty of every Pioneer to put in writing his early California experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Old California I had just come out of the Mission Garden, that quaint old spot laid out so many years ago n the early Fathers to be their last resting-place. Adre Ximeno was a dear friend of mine and I never lost an opportunity for an hour's gossip whenever I found myself in the little pueblo of Dos Cuervos. I was still lingering for a few last words with the good Old man, though the bells for vespers were ringing loudly, and I knew I should be keeping him from his duty, when the figure of a woman came toiling up the steep path to the foothills. Shrivelled and dark, old and frail, she seemed scarcely able to pull one foot after the other; nevertheless she was carrying a half-grown dog in one arm, while with the other hand she partly led, partly dragged two miserable mongrels tied to gether by pieces of old gunny-sack.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presented to the University Library University of California San Diego I 796, covered the country within a radius of fifty leagues about Auvergne, exchanging pottery, plat ters, plates, glasses, in a word, household articles required by the poorest families, for old iron, copper, lead, metal of any sort, whatever disguise it might have assumed. The Auvergnat gave an earthen ware saucepan worth two sous for a pound of lead, or for two pounds of iron, a broken spade, a broken hoe, or an old cracked kettle; and, being always the judge in his own cause, he weighed his junk himself. After the third year, Sauviat added the trade of cop persmith to his other trade In 1793 he was able to purchase a chateau sold as national property, and pulled it to pieces; the profit he made by that trans action he duplicated doubtless at several points in his sphere of operations; later, these first essays sug gested to him the idea of proposing to one of his fellow-provincials in Paris a similar business on a grand scale. Thus, the Black Band, so famous by reason of its demolitions, originated in the brain of old Sauviat the peddler, whom all Limoges saw for twenty-seven years in that poor shop, among his cracked bells, his balances, his chains, his iron rods, his twisted leaden gutters, his old metal of all sorts; we must do him the justice to say that he never knew of the celebrity or the extensive operations of that association; he profited by it only in proportion to the funds entrusted by him to the famous house of Brezac.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genesis of California Counties Further study opened up additional problems. It was found that the portion of the Political Code defining county bound aries had not been adequately revised since its adoption in 1872. Data already gathered for the present monograph was therefore used in preparing a bill codifying the county boundary laws, which was introduced into the legislature in 1919. Unfortunately, through a senate amendment, a change in boundary was incorporated, so notwithstanding that, the measure became a statute, it was on account of this boundary change declared unconstitutional according to an amendment of 1910 to the constitution of the State of California, which prohibited the formation of new counties and the alteration of county boundary lines except as provided for by general and uniform laws. A measure pending before the present legislature will probably result in the desired codification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Tragedy Slowly grasp the coin (california) with unequal force and pressure until the hand is fully closed. The experiment has shown the California conquest, the forces involved, the interested gallery and the historical setting. Of more than passing interest is that after a century, although the names of the puppets have changed, the forces and onlookers in the background remain unchanged. While we are getting back to Thornton you may return the coin to your pocket. It will bear these fingerprints for many a day. This book is rugged reading, but to anyone cognizant of the recent happenings in Mittel Europa and the lands bordering on the China Sea, it should not be too tough. Certainly we can not have it said that our forefathers could read the Donner story and that we can't take it in the year 1945.
