Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To California and Back: A Book of Practical Information for Travelers to the Pacific Although your introduction is by way of a long tunnel, followed by a winding mountain pass down whose steep incline the train rushes as if to regain the low level from which the journey was begun, you will find New Mexico a territory in the sky. If its mountain ranges were leveled smoothly over its valleys and plains, the entire area of more than I square miles would stand higher above the sea than the summit of any peak of the Catskills or the Adirondacks. Its broad upland plains, that stretch to a horizon where wintry peaks tower high above the bold salients off gray-mottled foothills, themselves lie at an altitude that in the eastern States must be sought among the clouds, and at no time will you fall much below an elevation of feet in traversing the portion of the Territory that lies along the present route.

The result is that a history of events on these western shores before that date needs a complete knowledge of concordant European history to furnish the key. Take, for instance, the splendid work of the navigators: unless we have the informing knowledge of what went on behind the scenes. In Europe at a corresponding period, our history of the struggle of those interesting centuries, no matter how heroic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Old California I had just come out of the Mission Garden, that quaint old spot laid out so many years ago n the early Fathers to be their last resting-place. Adre Ximeno was a dear friend of mine and I never lost an opportunity for an hour's gossip whenever I found myself in the little pueblo of Dos Cuervos. I was still lingering for a few last words with the good Old man, though the bells for vespers were ringing loudly, and I knew I should be keeping him from his duty, when the figure of a woman came toiling up the steep path to the foothills. Shrivelled and dark, old and frail, she seemed scarcely able to pull one foot after the other; nevertheless she was carrying a half-grown dog in one arm, while with the other hand she partly led, partly dragged two miserable mongrels tied to gether by pieces of old gunny-sack.

Download or read book Recollections of a California Pioneer Classic Reprint written by Carlisle S. Abbott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a California Pioneer This book of Recollections was entirely written after I had passed my eighty-eighth birthday, the chief inducement to the undertaking being a desire on my part to leave to my children, my grandchildren, and their posterity a story of my long life. There will, therefore, be found in these pages some things that will prove of little or no interest to the average reader; but these purely personal passages are, I trust, few in number, and they may be readily skipped. That all my readers will give full credence to everything that is hereinafter related is more than I can reasonably expect; but this consideration does not militate against the truth of the statement I now make: that, however extravagant, however extraordinary, some of the incidents here referred to may appear, I have endeavored to give a truthful narrative, and that, while the lapse of years and the infirmities of age have doubtless caused my memory to fail in reference to exact dates, distances, directions, and such trifling matters, I have in all the substantials presented the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resources of California I undertake to write the resources of a state, which, though young in years, small in population, and remote from the chief centres of civilization, is yet known to the furthest corners of the earth, and, during the last twelve years, has had an influence upon the course of human life, and the prosperity and trade of nations, more powerful than that exerted' during the same period by kingdoms whose subjects are numbered by millions, whose history dates back through thousands of years, and whose present stock of wealth began to accumulate before our continent was discovered, or our language was formed. I write of a land of wonders. I write 'of California, which has astonished the world by the great migration that suddenly built up the first large Caucasian community on the shores of the North Pacific by her vast yield of gold, amounting within thirteen years to $7 which has sensibly affected the markets of labor and money in all the leading nations of Christendom; by the rapid development and great extent of her commerce; by the greatness of her chief port, which at one time had more large ships at her anchorage than were ever seen together in the harbor of either Liverpool, New York, or London by the swift settlement of her remote districts; by the prompt organization of her government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Years in California The "Star of Empire" that has been so long traveling on its westward way has at last reached the end of its journey, and taken a fixed position. It stands over a fair land; the best, perhaps, all things considered, that it has looked down upon in all its course. Not that perfection is found even here. It is the law in this world that good shall never be unmixed. But, in the case of California, when the advantages and disadvantages are laid in the opposite sides of the balance, the former will be found to weigh down the latter to a degree that is scarcely to be seen elsewhere. There are just now important reasons for directing attention to this comparatively new State. These are found in the disturbances that are now prevailing in the commercial and industrial interests in the eastern and older parts of the country. The wheel of fortune is revolving with unusual rapidity. Those who were at the top yesterday are at the bottom to-day.
