Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of California Publications in History, Vol. 4 Yet when I say that anthropology is a young science I mean no more than this, that in the unfolding of that full bloom of rational culture, which sprang from the seeds of the Renais sance, and of which we are the heirs and trustees, anthropology found its place in the sunlight later than most; and almost alone among the sciences can reckon any of its founders among the living. This was of course partly an accident of birth and cir cumstance; for in the House of Wisdom there are many man sions; a Virchow, a Bastian, or a Tylor might easily have strayed through the gate of knowledge into other fields Of work; just as Locke and Montesquieu only narrowly missed the trail into anthropology.

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.

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.
