Download or read book California Romantic and Beautiful Classic Reprint written by George Wharton James and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California, Romantic and Beautiful Romance and Beauty are words inseparably connected with California. It is impossible to dissever them. Many years ago Mrs. Cyril Flower (nee Lady Constance Rothschild) told me the following characteristic story of Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the Sierras. It was at the time when Mrs. Langtry was in the height of her fame and all London was anxious to meet her. The poet also was very popular in England, and Mrs. Flower planned a great reception at which these two were to meet as the guests of honour. Her salon was one of the gathering-places of the most brilliant men and women of Europe and the taste and fashion of the country assembled there. When Joaquin was personally notified by Lady Constance that she desired his presence, he coolly and nonchalantly asked her if he might appear dressed in a California miner's costume. She freely gave her gracious consent. The night of the function the servitor at the door was almost shocked into paralysis when Joaquin appeared clothed in red shirt, blue overalls, and high-heeled top-boots with his trousers legs thrust into them. He also wore his high-crowned, broad-brimmed sombrero. Haughtily he was bidden go to the back door. With equanimity he bade the "flunkey" tell Lady Constance that "Joaquin Mliller was at the door."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California the Golden IN the preparation of this book the author has not sought to write a complete history of the great Commonwealth of California, but has endeavored to set forth, in simple narrative, the salient features in the fascinating story of the upbuilding of the Golden State. Himself a native son of California, born Of pioneer parents, he has long cherished the hope Of seeing wider and deeper interest in State and local history taken by citizens of California and especially by pupils in the schools. In adding this volume to the stories OF the states series, therefore, he has had constantly in mind the needs of that great army Of boys and girls in our public and private schools, whose lives should be enriched and ennobled by intelligent instruction in the history of our great, sovereign State. While it is earnestly hoped that the book will be of interest to that numerous constituency known as general readers, it has been more particularly de signed for use as a textbook or as a supplementary reader in the upper grades of the grammar school.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from California: An Englishman's Impressions of the Golden State Students of sociological problems will find that I have but skirted the fringe of what is, perhaps, the most poignant topic of the hour throughout America to-day that slow kindling in the camps of labour of the fires of rebellion and anarchy that increasing bitterness against the rich, which would seem to threaten not only California, but the whole Republic with the fiercest civil war yet known to history. Instead of dwelling upon these stu pendons subjects instead of climbing the highest points of her lofty mountains, I have traversed California guided rather by a vagrant taste for idling and roadside observation, than by, any desire to tilt against the windmills of great national problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of California The following book was written because there seemed to be a demand for a History of California which should sketch the main events of the country from its discovery to the present time. The pioneer, under whose observation the. Most exciting of these events have occurred, confesses the need of such a book. The thousands who have entered the State since it assumed its present peaceful aspect, complain of the lack of a succinct story of what had to be done here to make the land so pleasant a home. The material for a history of California is abundant. The log-books of ancient mariners who visited the coast - the voluminous, if not well-kept archives of the Government, while the territory was under Spanish or Mexican rule - the official reports and Congressional documents about the transfer to the United States - the files of newspapers since the land was Americanized the scores of books of intelligent travellers, who have put their impressions on record, and the oral evidence of natives, and early immigrants, who mingled in all the affairs most interesting to us - from these sources may be drawn ample details of life in California, from dates as far in the past as any but enthusiastic antiqua rians care to retire to.
