Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Contra Costa County, California: Including Its Geography, Geology, Topography, Climatography and Description; Together With a Record of the Mexican Grants; The Bear Flag War; The Mount Diablo Coal Fields; The Early History and Settlement, Compiled From the Most Authentic Sources Nearly twelve months ago the task of compiling' the History of Contra Costa County was undertaken' by us, but, owing to circumstances over which we had no control, it was not until the month of January, 1882, that operations were fully inaugurated. At length we are enabled to give our labors to our patrons and the public. The collecting and collating of notes has been no ordinary task; great distances have been compassed to secure personal knowledge; musty volumes have been exhumed, wherefrom to gain incontrovertible data. For the most part, we have received courteous aid; not unseldom have we been rebuffed, but only from those whose knowledge of the world is confined to the limited extent of their own vision. Our chapter on the Bear Flag war is from the pen of Mr. Munro Fraser, and was compiled in 1879 by him, for the History of Sonoma County, and will be found to be, not the least interesting portion of the present volume.

He is among the early settlers worthy of representation in the history of his chosen county, and has been actively identified with the development of the eastern part of the county for many years.
