It lasts but a day, and scarcely half of that, if the sun be not clouded. The year 1849 brought new life into San Jose, as it did in fact to various other localities throughout the then territory. Although there had been a universal rush to the mines, it had somewhat abated; that is, all that had taken their chances with pick and spade, had not been successful, notwithstanding the hardships and deprivations with which they met. The necessities of the people increased, and the production of them required other application than that of mining. Many had returned to San Jos6 after trying their fortunes in the mines, others came to the valley without first experimenting in the art of mining. The influx was greater than the outgoing stream, and the town wore more the aspect of a half military and half civil settlement. The numerous white tents that dotted the plains, some of which were arrared in regular order on a line with the streets, gave a military air to the scene. It is true., no long array of bristling bayonets were seen', but the bowieknife and revolver were belted on the majority of men, and strains of martial music greeted the ear, calling for recruits under the banner of King Phar-a-oh. All of the necessities of life became exceedingly dear; cultivating the soil had been almost wholly neglected, flour went up to fifty dollars per barrel; nearly all that was consumed came from Chili, as it had iu the latter part of the previous year. The reapers of the Chilian fields had found a golden In the technical language of the faro dealers and players, that game was dignified with the appellation of King Pharaoh. market for their golden harvest. A pair of ordinary boots were worth sixteen dollars, and some, extra thick, with...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of San Jose and Surroundings: With Biographical Sketches The principal events which have occurred in the Valley of Santa Clara, from its first settlement by the whites to the present time, must ever be regarded important to the people of the State; and particularly to the residents of the Valley, and to their relatives and intimate friends who reside far beyond the confines of California. This portion of the State has been denominated its "Paradise"; and, perhaps, not altogether without reason. Inquiries have frequently been made, by strangers here from the East, for its history; and, in most cases, the answer that there is no such history has been heard with surprise. The facts which present themselves to the stranger's mind, namely: that this Valley contains the most ancient Pueblo in the State; two old Missions; and the New Almaden Quicksilver Mine, were enough from which to draw a reasonable conclusion that some collection of their past events should have been given to the public in an historical form. Having resided many years in the Valley, knowing many facts pertaining to its history, and feeling much interest in its prosperity, I have been prompted to exert my best endeavors to place before the public what should not be buried, and what ought to be considered interesting annals.

Download or read book African Americans of San Jose and Santa Clara County written by Jan Batiste Adkins and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rich history of people of African heritage in the Santa Clara Valley began as early as 1777, and in the 1800s, a lively black community took root. By the Great Migration in the 1900s, neighborhoods in San Jose, Palo Alto, and Santa Clara became home to many African Americans from Southern and Midwest states who were seeking new opportunites. By the 1960s, African Americans found jobs in the emerging technology industry, at Ford Motor Company, and in public service agencies. African Americans pursued degrees at San Jose State College (SJSC), the University of Santa Clara, Stanford University, and community colleges located in the Santa Clara Valley. SJSC's athletic programs opened the door for student athletes, while Dr. Harry Edwards, John Carlos, and Tommy Smith took on civil rights challenges. The complicated history of the black community throughtout Santa Clara County has mirrored the nation's slow progress towards social and economic success. This progress is captured in the presented images chronicling individual stories of political struggle, success, and triumph."--Provided by publisher

Book excerpt: Honorable Mention for the 2023 Francis Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize 2023 Judy Grahn Award-Publishing Triangle Finalist Restores queer suffragists to their rightful place in the history of the struggle for women’s right to vote The women’s suffrage movement, much like many other civil rights movements, has an important and often unrecognized queer history. In Public Faces, Secret Lives Wendy L. Rouse reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the suffrage movement included a variety of individuals who represented a range of genders and sexualities. However, owing to the constant pressure to present a “respectable” public image, suffrage leaders publicly conformed to gendered views of ideal womanhood in order to make women’s suffrage more palatable to the public. Rouse argues that queer suffragists did take meaningful action to assert their identities and legacies by challenging traditional concepts of domesticity, family, space, and death in both subtly subversive and radically transformative ways. Queer suffragists also built lasting alliances and developed innovative strategies in order to protect their most intimate relationships, ones that were ultimately crucial to the success of the suffrage movement. Public Faces, Secret Lives is the first work to truly recenter queer figures in the women’s suffrage movement, highlighting their immense contributions as well as their numerous sacrifices.
