Download or read book A History of California Vol 1 of 3 written by J. M. Guinn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of California, Vol. 1 of 3: And an Extended History of Los Angeles and Environs Few states of the Union have a more varied, a more interesting or a more instructive his tory than California, and few have done so little to preserve their history. In this statement I do not contrast California with older states of the Atlantic seaboard, but draw a parallel be tween our state and the more recently created States of the far west, many years younger in statehood than the Golden State of the Pacific. When Kansas and Nebraska were uninhabited except by buffaloes and Indians, California was a populous state pouring fifty millions of gold yearly into the world's coffers. For more than a quarter of a century these states, from their public funds, have maintained state historical societies that have gathered and are preserving valuable historical material, while California, with out a protest, has allowed literary pot hunters and Speculative curio collectors to rob her of her historic treasures. When Washington, Montana and the two Dakotas were Indian hunting grounds, California was a state of a quarter million inhabitants; each of these states now has its State Historical Society supported by appropriations from its public funds. California, of all the states west of the Mississippi river, spends nothing from its public funds to collect and preserve its history. To a lover of California this is humiliating; to a student of her history exasperating. While preparing this History of California I visited all the large public libraries of the state. I found in all of them a very limited collection of books On California, and an almost entire absence of manuscripts and of the rarer books of the earlier eras. Evidently the demand for works per taining to California history is not very insistent, If it were, more of an effort would be put forth to procure them. The lack of interest in our history is due largely to the fact that California was settled by one nation and developed by another. In the rapid development of the state by the conquer ing nation, the trials, struggles and privations of the first colonists who were of another nation have been ignored or forgotten. No forefathers' day keeps their memory green, no observance celebrates the anniversary of their landing. To many of its people the history of California begins with the discovery of gold, and all before that time is regarded as of little importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of the Historical Society, Vol. 3: Of Southern California (Annual Publication of 1893-94-95-96;) The story of the terrible blight that destroyed many of our vine yards should be written the story of the growth of our wine, brandy and raisin industries, of our citrus orchards, of our fruit industries generally - all should be written and made as complete as possible. We should also keep a correct record of local current events. Diaries kept with that object in view would hereafter be invaluable from a historical point of View. The brightest glimpses of the time in which our ancestors lived are given by some of the diaries then written. There is scarcely anything that transpires within our experience that is not worth making a note of when possible. Let the man who erects a building and he who buries a friend, or he who plants a tree, write the story of the event, and, with a com or other token, seal it in glass and place it where, beneath the wall or in the grave, it will make its revelation to the future discoverer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Men, Vol. 3: September, 1912 My dear Mr. Sprunger: I have this minute received your letter. California will know how to meet her immigration question when it comes with the Canal, for her people are open-hearted and open-handed always. The strangers come not only to help till your acres and add to your wealth. They come to help make your State great as well as golden. They will if you will let them. Then be their neighbors. They will work for you. Work with them in turn. Open your schools wide for their children and for as many of their elders as you can get in at night. Let each school-house be a social and civic center where they are made welcome. Do not ask them to forget the old home. He makes but a poor husband who shuts the door on his old mother when he takes a wife. Let them keep the old love. Make the house big enough and bright enough to foster the new. Fence out the slum with utmost rigor. Enlist the new voter for every good cause. The enemy is waiting to enlist him for the bad as often as you miss your chance. Being fellow citizens, pull together, and you will find the newcomer breaking easy to the double harness. Just be neighbors. It is all as simple as that. Faithfully yours, Jacob A. Riis. We have just learned that Jacob Riis is coming to California in the spring on what will probably be his last lecture tour this far West. His famous lectures, "The Battle with the Slums," and "My Neighbor," would be especially appropriate in this section of the country at this time. Special terms could no doubt be secured if any of the California Associations would plan to put these lectures on in the spring. Mr. Riis' manager is Prof. Geo. Thompson, High School, Alameda, California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of California written by Robert Glass Cleland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of California: The American Period As the title indicates, this volume deals with the American period of California history. It thus aims to complement the work of Dr. Charles E. Chapman, whose History of California: the Spanish Period, has already made its wel come appearance from the press. As the preface to this latter volume states, the general plan of the two books was agreed upon as far back as 1914. Since that date, Dr. Chapman and the writer have been in constant communi cation, but otherwise working independently, with the View to producing between them, an authoritative popular history of California. With the exception of a slight overlapping of the writer's opening chapters with the closing pages of Dr. Chapman's narrative (an overlapping, however, which has involved almost no actual repetition of incident), each book covers a separate field. Yet the keynote of the two volumes is essentially the same, namely, that California history is vastly more significant because of its national and inter national aspects than for any local interest it may possess. From this standpoint, the event of primary importance in the history of California is its transformation from a Mexican province into an American state. To this event, as Dr. Chapman shows, the Spanish period looks forward; from this event, dates the California of today and the greater California of tomorrow. In preparing this volume for the press, the writer has had in mind three objects - to make his book conform to the canons of sound scholarship; to escape a provincial and localized point of View; and to avoid being classed with those who write for nothing so irrelevant as a reader.

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.
