Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Historical Sketches of California: Including General References to Its Discovery, Early Missions, Revolutions, and Settlement by the United States, Together With a More Ample History of Sacramento Valley and City, and Biographical References to Prominent Individuals IN our efforts to collect the necessary data for writing a history of Sacramento Valley and City, we have obtained so much interesting information respecting the early M issions of California, that we have determined upon making them the subject of a few introductory chap ters to our work. To the moral and political philosopher nothing could afi'ord more agreeable contemplation than c'ursory glances at the estab lishment of these Missions. They present such a significant contrast between religious and secular colonizations, such a demonstration of the anti-progressive character of the Papal Church under Spanish rule, that they are both interesting and instructive. The object of these Missions was, doubtless, the propagation of Papal doctrines and extension of the Spanish. Crown; and, in the attainment of this end, there could have been but little difficult Whilst there was everything to encourage enterprise and conciliate attachments to the country. Everything that mildness and beauty of climate could offer; every attraction that could spring from topographical relations; from rich and incomparable valleys of farming land; from luxurious verdure and gorgeous flowers; from exhaustless streams of soft and delicious wa ter, there was an infinite variety of interests presented to the exploring gaze of those who commenced the establishment of these Missions. All that the most favorable combinations of natural facilities could offer as an inducement tosettle, Open and develope the country, was found by the early Missionaries of California. They had to meet none, or but'very few, mrnonvcrion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: An introduction to the rich and diverse art of California, this book highlights its distinctive role in the history of American art, from early-20th-century photography to Chicanx mural painting, the Fiber Art Movement and beyond. Shaped by a compelling network of geopolitical influences including waves of migration and exchange from the Pacific Rim and Mexico, the influx of African Americans immediately after World War II, and global immigration after quotas were lifted in the 1960s, California is a centre of artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical boundaries. Furthermore, California was at the forefront of radical developments in artistic culture, most notably conceptual art and feminism, and its education system continues to nurture and encourage avant-garde creativity. Organized chronologically and thematically with illustrations throughout, this attractive study stands as an important reassessment of Californias contribution to modern and contemporary art in the United States and globally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Souvenir of El Dorado County, California: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers To our patrons and the public in general we here with present the Illustrated History of El Dorado County. The county in which the discovery of gold was made, which in consequence has given the im pulse to set in motion an emigration, entirely unknown before in history, and which kept on coming here for eighteen or twenty years, thus gathering within her borders a population ranging from twenty to forty thousand, including all grades and classes of people, but constituting a community of pride and power which made El Dorado to become the Empire Coun ty of the State. Not only on account of the great dis covery already mentioned that was made here, but also for the reason that she is one of the largest and richest counties in the mining district she was deservedly complimented with the name she bears. Though slumbering now since the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad across the Sierra Nevada, she will come to life and activity before long to re ward the energy and industry of her people and to place her in the rank which she always has deserved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Amador County, California: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers Many things will creep in which were better left out, and others of importance are omitted. Some matters will receive undue importance, and few will be accurately related. Not until edition after edition has been brought before the public will the prominent events receive due notice, or the doubtful ones have justice done them. A thousand eyes will be sharp ened to criticise the narrative. A thousand new witnesses will arise to contradict, affirm, or correct. The publishers hope that the public will make due allowance for errors unavoidable in the first attempt to collect the facts pertaining to the early history of the county. In many instances the testimony, even of eye-witnesses, is very conflicting. This is true of the aifairs of August, 1855. Hardly any two agree in their narratives of the circumstances. In this, as in other matters, the most probable statements are recorded. Nothing has been set down in malice, and some things have been left out as being too much like tales told out of school; as far as possible con signing them to oblivion. Having resided over a quarter of a century in the county, and acted a part, though a humble one, in many of the circumstances narrated, the writer has drawn largely on his own memory for many of the incidents. The chapters on geology and mining, will, it is hoped, furnish interesting and profitable reading to all, especially those engaged in mining. The facts and theories are the result of years of observation, and many miles of travel, and are not retailed at second hand from Whitney or other scientists. The observations on mining have been compiled from the statements, opinions and experiences, of hun dreds of intelligent miners. Thanks are due to all the superintendents, especially to those of the Amador Consolidated, the Keystone, the Oneida, the Empire, the Downs and the Zeile mines for valuable information on gold mining, and to Edward Johnson of the Newton mine, for statistics and methods of copper mining. The habits of the early miners will be read with interest. The writer hopes that some of the false impressions, produced by Bret Hart, Joaquin Miller, and other writers, regarding early Californians, will be dissipated by a true description thereof. The stories of the YubaDam, Tuolumne Debating Society and others of that kind, have truth enough for a hint to a lively imagination arid no more; and those who, in after years, judge California by those things, will be wide of the mark. The writer, having been a resident of the State since 1850, has an interest in the good reputation of the pioneers, and is glad to enter his protest to such absurdities being re corded as history. With him, the work has been one of love, and a design to do justice to our countrymen, with no desire to hold them up to derision. The publishers intended to give statistics of the growth of the mining and agricultural industries, but found the published returns entirely worthless. In some instances, the estimations were utterly ab surd. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
