Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-Five Years in California spans the 19th century, offering William Heath Davis' view of California's Pastoral Period. He gives readers a unique look at the disintegration of missions, the rise of the rancheros, the American Invasion, the Gold Rush and the adoption of the territory as a state. Davis himself had an interesting personal history, having been born in Hawaii in 1822, raised in Boston, traveled a great deal by sea, and became one of the most prominent merchants in San Francisco by 1845. The California Gold Rush really was a bonanza. Between 1849 and 1855 the miners gathered more than $400 million dollars; once adjusted, it is a sum today reaching into the trillions. It was a social phenomenon marked by the carnivalesque. In his work Roughing It (1872) Mark Twain's protagonist remarks as his brother heads West, "Pretty soon he would be hundreds and hundreds of miles away on the great plains and deserts, and among the mountains of the Far West, and would see buffaloes and Indians, and prairie dogs, an antelopes, and have all kinds of adventures, and may be get hanged or scalped, and have ever such a fine time, and write home and tell us all about it, and be a hero...And by and by he would become very rich, and return home by sea, and be able to talk as calmly about San Francisco and ocean, and 'the isthmus' as if it was nothing of any consequence to have seen those marvels face to face." Go they did to the Land of Golden Dreams, in the largest internal migration in American history, and the adventures and tragedies have created a large and memorable literature.

Download or read book Lessons in California History written by Harr Wagner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in California History The writers of this history have aimed to give each chapter a beginning, a middle and an end. Each topic is complete in itself. An attempt has been made to put some life in the pages by going into details that have a human interest which the formal historical writer would consider more or less trivial. Special emphasis has been placed on the early discoveries by sea and land and the idea has been to correlate the facts of geography and history so this book will furnish material in harmony with such books as "California" and "The Home and Its Relation to the World" by Dr. H. W. Fairbanks. Tourists and students have a special interest in the Spanish historical relationships. Architecture, especially the modern school buildings and private homes, the olive, the orange and the vine and other fruits and even our hospitality, are a part of California's Spanish heritage. The discovery of gold, the American settlements, the building of the great state of California during the past seventy years, are treated by the presentation of types of pioneers and stories of struggles and difficulties of the early settlers. Special emphasis has been placed upon the story of education, the story of literature, the story of the state government and California's contribution to the common wealth, on account of their influence upon the social conditions of our state.
