This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The important role played by the W. B. Bourn family in the history of California is not generally well known. Usually, the family is heard of only in connection with "Filoli," the Bourn mansion in San Mateo County, or the Bourn "Cottage" at the Empire Mine State Historic Park in Grass Valley. The Bourn family is introduced on guided tours at these sites as their builders and first occupants, and the Bourn family wealth is usually noted as having been derived from ownership of the famous Empire Gold Mine. There is little mention of any family roles in the political, financial, or social life of the time. This somewhat narrow interpretation of Bourn history has not gone unnoticed by visitors to these properties, and the question "Is there anything more available on the Bourns?" is frequently asked at the conclusion of a guided tour. To remedy this oversight, this book hopes to present a composite of biographical and anecdotal information on the Bourns and the related Chase, Starr, and Vincent families. The Bourn family was a strong force for good throughout California's Golden Age. They left an enduring mark on San Francisco through their contributions to the economic, social, architectural, cultural, and religious life of the community. That same force for good continues into the present day.

Download or read book The Matter of Empire written by Orlando Bentancor and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Matter of Empire examines the philosophical principles invoked by apologists of the Spanish empire that laid the foundations for the material exploitation of the Andean region between 1520 and 1640. Centered on Potosi, Bolivia, Orlando Bentancor's original study ties the colonizers' attempts to justify the abuses wrought upon the environment and the indigenous population to their larger ideology concerning mining, science, and the empire's rightful place in the global sphere. Bentancor points to the underlying principles of Scholasticism, particularly in the work off Thomas Aquinas, as the basis of the instrumentalist conception of matter and enslavement, despite the inherent contradictions to moral principles. Bentancor grounds this metaphysical framework in a close reading of sixteenth-century debates on Spanish sovereignty in the Americas and treatises on natural history and mining by theologians, humanists, missionaries, mine owners, jurists, and colonial officials. To Bentancor, their presuppositions were a major turning point for colonial expansion and paved the way to global mercantilism.

This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the development of California and the relationship between the built environments of the mercury-mining industry and the emerging ethnic identities and communities in California, Mercury and the Making of California brings mercury to its rightful place alongside gold and silver in their defining roles in the development of the American West. In this pioneering study, Andrew Johnston examines the history of California’s mercury-mining industry—and its defining role in the development of the American West. Mercury was crucial to refining gold and silver; therefore, its production and use were vital to creating and securing power and wealth in the west. The first industrialized mining in California, mercury mining had its own particular organization and structure shaped by powers first formed within the Spanish Empire, transformed by British imperial ambitions, and manipulated by groups made wealthy and powerful by controlling it. In addition, the landscapes of work and camp and the relations among the many groups—Mexicans, Chileans, Spanish, British, Irish, Cornish, American, and Chinese—throughout the industry’s history illustrate the complex history of race and ethnicity in the American West. Combining rich documentary sources with a close examination of the existing physical landscape, Andrew Johnston explores both the detail of everyday work and life in the mines and the larger economic and social structures in which mercury mining was enmeshed, revealing the significance of mercury mining to Western history.

Download or read book Mercury Mining and Empire written by Nicholas A. Robins and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of an examination of the colonial mercury and silver production processes and related labor systems, Mercury, Mining, and Empire explores the effects of mercury pollution in colonial Huancavelica, Peru, and Potosí, in present-day Bolivia. The book presents a multifaceted and interwoven tale of what colonial exploitation of indigenous peoples and resources left in its wake. It is a socio-ecological history that explores the toxic interrelationships between mercury and silver production, urban environments, and the people who lived and worked in them. Nicholas A. Robins tells the story of how native peoples in the region were conscripted into the noxious ranks of foot soldiers of proto-globalism, and how their fate, and that of their communities, was—and still is—chained to it.
