Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Years in California The permanency of first impressions is strikingly shown by the very common impression in regard to California. It was first known to the world as a gold producing country, and men are slow to learn that While gold continues to be a very considerable product it is far exceeded in value and extent by other indus tries. The gold product is now principally obtained by quartz-mining, which requires large capital to con duct it. There is no longer any furor connected with the business, nor are fortunes now made in a day. Mining is conducted as a legitimate business, of which the average yield has been, for the last few years, about twenty millions of dollars per annum. As a bullion producing State, including gold and silver, California has fallen into the second place - it is outranked by Nevada, which, in 1875, produced more than twice as much as the Golden State. But the increase in agri cultural products is more than an offset for the falling off in this direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book California Classic Reprint written by Harold W. Fairbanks and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California The new series of Elementary School Geographies of which this volume forms a part has been worked out along lines entirely different from any other American text. The two-time-over plan has been abandoned for a progressive course in which each country is studied but once. The descriptive method in which the memory plays the chief role has been replaced by one in which reason and thought, based on experience, are the moving forces. The aim of this, the second book in the New Series, is twofold: first, is to give the child such a conception of his own state as will be of some real use to him in daily life; and second, to afford a foundation for an intelligent study of the world at large. When the child understands how people about him are influenced by their environment he has acquired the ability, with the aid of a good physical map, to form conclusions as to how people in distant lands are affected by their environments. This view leads us to look upon facts not as the aim but rather the tools by the aid of which true geographic understanding is reached. To accomplish this aim, a readjustment of emphasis is necessary. Instead of giving a few weeks here and there in the course to the home, state or natural region in which the child lives, and thus making the home region incidental to world geography, the method employed in the present series assumes that an understanding of the home is the indispensable prerequisite to a real knowledge of the world. Working the above out by means of the problem method, the study appears to the child to take on a definite purpose. It becomes intensely interesting and leaves a permanent impression. From the point of view outlined, no apology need be offered for putting within reach of the children of California this book, which is intended as a basis for a year's study. Such a study naturally falls in the fifth year and before formal world geography is commenced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The H. M. M. B. A. In California What I do contend for about California is That, when all these disagreeable features are taken into the account at their greatest measure of annoyance, we still possess such an abundance of glorious climate, entrancing and majestic scenes, delightful resorts, health ful surroundings, business advantages, and other good things, that one may travel far and wide, and for many years, ere he finds another region which is so desirable for pleasure, health, travel, and residence. And if, in any way, these pages add to the good of the Golden State, by inducing travel, immigration, or capital hither, and give pleasure to those for whom_ they were written, viz.. My fellow-members of the H. M. M. B. A. And the charming ladies of their families, their purpose will be abundantly accomplished. In regard to the hotel men and women and their hotels, there are two reasons why nothing but good has been said: First, they are good; and, second, if there are - as I doubt not there are - poor hotels and poorer hotel men and women in California, I simply have not mentioned them. Hence, it being given to me to describe only the good, I could use none but good words in my descriptions. And, dear reader, were I writing about you and your hotel, could I write in any other way? I shall be excused, doubtless, if I here state that, while Ihave received much and valuable aid from a variety of sources, the book is my own work and financial venture. 'no associa tion, no hotel, no other person than myself is responsible for a word that is here written. Whatever censure or praise the book may receive, I alone am responsible for all it contains.

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.

It was a warm day in early June; one of those days when you just simply cannot stay in; a day that was never made for a school-room or for study; when a dip in the surf or a hike among the redwoods would be far more preferable than a drowsy school-room; a day that meant you Must be out of doors. But it was all over, anyway - for a time, at least. The last bell was ringing. Vacation had begun for the students of the Santa Cruz High School. Groups of boys and girls came pouring out of the doors, laughing and chattering, with happy, smiling faces; only occasionally a long-drawn face appearing among them - no doubt that of some child who had failed to be promoted. But they were all glad to be free for a long two months to come; all were glad to get out into the beautiful summer day.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Alameda County, California, Vol. 2 Among the prominent and representative men of Alameda county none stands higher nor possesses a wider circle of friends than Frank K. Mott, the mayor of Oakland. A self-made man who, by his natural leadership, initiative and unswerving principles of honor, has risen from humble station through the several positions of mes senger boy, clerk, merchant, real-estate dealer, member of city coun cil and several times mayor of Oakland. In every capacity he has measured up to the highest standards of efficiency and more than satisfied the expectations of his friends and party. Frank K. Mott was born in San Francisco, January 21, 1866. His parents, Peter D. And Fannie K. Mott were from New York state and settled in San Francisco at an early day. Leaving school at the age of twelve years and working as a messenger boy for the Western Union and American District Telegraph Company, his education was of necessity very limited. However in a year's time he had advanced to the position of clerk and collector for the company, and he remained there for four years, at the end of which time he entered the employ of George S. Brown, a hardware merchant of Oakland. When he was twenty-two years of age Mr. Mott entered into partnership with A. E. Howard and together they succeeded to a part of the business. This firm continued for eleven years when Mott bought his partner out and became sole proprietor. In Janu ary, 1907, he sold his mercantile business and founded the well known firm of Frank K. Mott Company, real-estate brokers whose extensive dealings and manifold improvements have helped so materially toward a greater Oakland.

Download or read book The Land of Gold written by Walter Colton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Gold: Or Three Years in California Many events of moment occurred in California during my residence of three years in that country, and which were sketched in a journal kept by me at the time. They are interspersed with anecdotes and incidents of a less general concern, but which may not be without some interest with the reader, as affording a clue to the leading features of society, and traits of individual character. The circle of engaging objects in a community, just emerging into the refinements of civilization, is never broad; but every phase in the great change going on possesses an in tense individuality, and leaves its ineffaceable impression, like a ship sweeping a solitary sea, or a bird scaling a sunset cloud. California will be no more what she has been: the events of a few years have carried her through the progressive changes of a century. She has sprung at once from the shackles of colonial servitude to all the advantages and dignities of a sovereign state. Her emigrants are rushing from every continent and isle; they crest every mountain, they cover every sea; they sweep in like a cloud from the Pacific, they roll down like a torrent from the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. They crowd to her bosom to gather gold; their hammers and drills, their mattocks and spades divert the deep stream, and are echoed from a thousand caverned hills; the level plain, the soaring cliff and wombed mountain, give up their glowing treasures. But the gifts of nature here are not confined to her sparkling sands and veined rocks, they extend to the productive forces of her soil; they lie along her water-courses, through her verdant valleys, and wave in her golden grain they reel in her vintage, they blush in her fruits, while her soft zephyrs, as they float the landscape, scatter per fume from their Odorous Wings.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library of the University of California The morning train for London carries many travellers whose lives seem well ordered, early risers, well-to-do peo ple, outside the world of fashion, to whom the early morning is perhaps more en joyable than the late hours of the night. Of this number were my two chance com panions in our comfortable railway car riage, a gentleman and his wife. They both insisted on my smoking, the husband joining me in a cigar. This led to conver sation wherein I soon found by their ac cent that my new acquaintances were from the North Country, which naturally led to my reviving my Yorkshire days. My new friend was the proprietor of woollen mills, and entertained me by showing me samples of fine Cashmere wools and telling me much that was interesting regarding them. I gave his wife a small box of strawberries at Amiens, which pleased them both, and when we bade each other good-bye at Bou logue, it was not, I think, without a feel ing that we had all three appeared to ad vantage to each other.
