Download or read book History of Alameda County California Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Frank Clinton Merritt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Alameda County, California, Vol. 1 You can here close the book, and seek your history in more sordid publications. I like to think that the city, county, state or nation which has the most interesting history is the one which has an outstanding record for human achievement - a political unit which has taken a lead in culture, education, the arts, inventions, industrial growth, justice, and all that goes to make up the best things fin human thought and action. This chronicle, therefore, will not be one to fulfill the definition quoted but on the other hand will record the events of a county and its cities which have done their part in furnishing a generous quota to make our national history as we now hnd it. Crimes and misfortunes will creep into any accurate history, but they are mere incidents. They. Do not form the greater portion of the story. F ar-sighted and unselfish men and women have lived in Alameda County, and have devoted their intelligent energies and abilities to aid our marvelous progress. Their acts, lives and achievements are' history to me. Many have been born here, many have come to share our en viable advantages, who have gone up stream to fame and fortune; and I believe that the things which they have done should receive recog nition. There are many now with us who have won high places in the history of our county, state and nation. I believe that these men and women, and the events which they have brought about or helped create or complete are entitled to the recognition given herein that posterity shall not forget. And if this be not history, then I ask indulgent readers to apply the most favorable term which may come to mind. Memories are faulty and liable to err and forget. We may readily recall recent events with something bordering upon accuracy and com pleteness; but with the lapse of a few years important happenings and prominent personages become blurred, and, perhaps, even forgotten in the busy events of life. We owe a duty to those who have built great cities and'a great county to preserve a record of what they have done. There is the same duty to observe in respect to those who are now doing those things which are resulting in local advancement. There would be little incentive to serve one's country and fellow man, and little reward, perhaps, if there were not occasionally someone to take upon himself the task of trying to preserve the record. I do not believe that there is anyone selfish enough to deny the tribute earned and due those who have made our local history.

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.
