Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only complete guide to the historical landmarks of California, this standard work has now been thoroughly revised and updated. The edition is enriched by some 200 photographs, most of which were taken by the reviser and all of which are new to this edition. Since the last revision in 1990, enormous changes have taken place within the state: many landscapes and buildings have been greatly altered and some are no longer in existence. Every effort has been made, through personal observation, to record the present condition of the landmarks and to provide clear and accurate descriptions of their locations. The text is written with the idea that the reader might use the book while traveling around the state, and thus mileage and signposts have been given where it was thought helpful. For this new edition, the reviser has added additional information on the state's geography, the presence of Native Americans, and state and local museums. To provide historical background, the reviser has written a short historical overview. The chapters of the book are organized by county, in alphabetical order. A rough chronology is followed for each county, beginning with pertinent facts on geography, continuing with Native American life, the coming of the Spaniards and other Europeans, the American conquest of the 1840s, and, in those areas where it had a major impact, the gold rush. The text then continues into the period of intensive agricultural development, railroads, industrialization, the growth of cities, the effects of World War II, and on into more recent times. The bibliography, like the text, has been updated to 2001 and includes some of the established classics in California history as well as more recent material. Reviews of the Fourth Edition "Prodigious in detail and scope, this is the definitive guide to historical landmarks in California and a valuable resource not only for travelers but also for anyone interested in California history." —California Highways "This is an outstanding and accessible piece of scholarship, one that every student of California will value." —San Francisco Chronicle "Kyle and Stanford University Press are to be lauded for this monumental undertaking." —Southern California Quarterly

Download or read book History of Alameda County California Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Frank Clinton Merritt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Alameda County, California, Vol. 1 You can here close the book, and seek your history in more sordid publications. I like to think that the city, county, state or nation which has the most interesting history is the one which has an outstanding record for human achievement - a political unit which has taken a lead in culture, education, the arts, inventions, industrial growth, justice, and all that goes to make up the best things fin human thought and action. This chronicle, therefore, will not be one to fulfill the definition quoted but on the other hand will record the events of a county and its cities which have done their part in furnishing a generous quota to make our national history as we now hnd it. Crimes and misfortunes will creep into any accurate history, but they are mere incidents. They. Do not form the greater portion of the story. F ar-sighted and unselfish men and women have lived in Alameda County, and have devoted their intelligent energies and abilities to aid our marvelous progress. Their acts, lives and achievements are' history to me. Many have been born here, many have come to share our en viable advantages, who have gone up stream to fame and fortune; and I believe that the things which they have done should receive recog nition. There are many now with us who have won high places in the history of our county, state and nation. I believe that these men and women, and the events which they have brought about or helped create or complete are entitled to the recognition given herein that posterity shall not forget. And if this be not history, then I ask indulgent readers to apply the most favorable term which may come to mind. Memories are faulty and liable to err and forget. We may readily recall recent events with something bordering upon accuracy and com pleteness; but with the lapse of a few years important happenings and prominent personages become blurred, and, perhaps, even forgotten in the busy events of life. We owe a duty to those who have built great cities and'a great county to preserve a record of what they have done. There is the same duty to observe in respect to those who are now doing those things which are resulting in local advancement. There would be little incentive to serve one's country and fellow man, and little reward, perhaps, if there were not occasionally someone to take upon himself the task of trying to preserve the record. I do not believe that there is anyone selfish enough to deny the tribute earned and due those who have made our local history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alameda County: The Ideal Place for Your California Home Thus Alameda County is a region of widely diversified scenery. Plains that front on the great harbor, with their orchards of oranges, lemons, apricots, apples, peaches, cherries, walnuts, almonds, nectarines and many other tropical and sub tropical fruits, have a peaceful, old-world charm that accom panics intensive cultivation and happy rural homes. The hills which look across the plain to the beautiful bay and toward the Golden Gate, are, in places, very rugged, and wooded with live oak, laurel and sycamore. Trout streams wind their way among the hills, and within the boundaries of the county are canyons, dark with redwood trees.
