Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Days of California: Embracing What I Saw and Heard There, With Scenes in the Pacific We may learn much from the pulseless soli tudes - from the desert untrodden by the foot of living thing - from the frozen world of mountains, whose chasms and cliffs never echoed to aught but the thunder-tempests girding their frozen peaks from old Nature, piled, rocky, bladeless, toneless if we will allow its lessons of awe to reach the mind, and impress it with the fresh and holy images which they were made to inspire. And now, dear reader, my task is done. Should you laugh and weep, suffer and rejoice, with the actors in the wayfarings before you, and send your fancy in after-times over those rose-clad realms where they will lead you, and feel the dews of a pleasant remembrance falling on your life, I shall receive a full reward for my toil.

Download or read book A Winter in California Season of 1894 95 written by Raymond and Whitcomb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Winter in California, Season of 1894-95: Nine Magnificent Trips Across the Continent in Special Pullman Vestibuled Trains With Dining Cars, Combining Every Possible Comfort and Luxury In connection with both the outward and homeward routes there are numerous side trips. These are not provided in regular passage tickets, or in any other excursion scheme, having been arranged solely for our trips. The advantages of a special train service, to be enjoyed, in most instances, by our parties under personal escort, need not be urged, as they will be readily perceived. In New Mexico, California, Colorado, and elsewhere, facilities for leisurely sight-seeing are gained thereby. Another con sideration, which has much to do with the comfort of a passenger on a long railway journey, is this, that our trains are run at a safe and moderate rate of speed, thus enhancing the pleasures of sight-seeing. For journeys of five or six hours in length between the large cities of the East very high speed may be necessary or desirable. There is no such requirement in the case of a long trip across the continent, in which health and pleasure are the objects sought. A moderate, easy run produces far less strain on the physical and nervous system than fast time, and our trains will continue to merit the favor that has been accorded them on this account.

We therefore confined ourselves to our room in the hotel, where we had scores of visiters; who, finding it impossible to do any thing else, lounged and talked over the various rumors connected with the several expeditions.

Download or read book California 46 to 88 Classic Reprint written by Jacob Wright Harlan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California 46 to 88 T is usual for a bookmaker to present himself to his readers by something in way of preface. This might not be needed in the present case were it not that this writer deems it well to apologize for his boldness as an unlettered man, in trying to write a book at all, and also to crave that his frequent use of the first personal pronoun singular may not be set down to vanity, but rather to the fact of its being convenient for stating, briefly, matters personal to himself, and of his own memory and experience. To old Pioneers in the American settlement of California some parts of the following record may appear incorrect, and some may be too familiar or unimportant to be interesting but let each fact be taken as a link in a chain of a California life, and its value, though small, may be acknowledged. It has appeared to this writer that every fact relating to the early settlement of California should be recorded and treasured up in fact, that it is the duty of every Pioneer to put in writing his early California experience.

Book excerpt: “A California classic . . . California, it should be remembered, was very much the wild west, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way into statehood. so what tamed it? Mr. Starr’s answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects.”—The Economist From the age of exploration to the age of Arnold, the Golden State’s premier historian distills the entire sweep of California’s history into one splendid volume. Kevin Starr covers it all: Spain’s conquest of the native peoples of California in the early sixteenth century and the chain of missions that helped that country exert control over the upper part of the territory; the discovery of gold in January 1848; the incredible wealth of the Big Four railroad tycoons; the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906; the emergence of Hollywood as the world’s entertainment capital and of Silicon Valley as the center of high-tech research and development; the role of labor, both organized and migrant, in key industries from agriculture to aerospace. In a rapid-fire epic of discovery, innovation, catastrophe, and triumph, Starr gathers together everything that is most important, most fascinating, and most revealing about our greatest state. Praise for California “[A] fast-paced and wide-ranging history . . . [Starr] accomplishes the feat with skill, grace and verve.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Kevin Starr is one of california’s greatest historians, and California is an invaluable contribution to our state’s record and lore.”—MarIa ShrIver, journalist and former First Lady of California “A breeze to read.”—San Francisco
