Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 4: Devoted to the Development of the Country; January to June, 1870 Those men of 1849 - 5 5 who give the tone to San Francisco to-day, have, for nearly twenty years, worked hard - and that fact is conclusive, both of their present and future. They work hard still, and will continue hard at work to the end of their days. A fair allowance of wealth has been accumulated, but the question of amount of wealth has little bearing upon the habits of the man who has spent his years between the ages of thirty and fifty in its accumulation. These are also mainly self-made men. They are wholly self-made in the se'nse that they are the architects of their own fortunes; and they are also leavened with a leaven of that element in self making which consists in self-education. It is easy, therefore, to see what we ought to expect to find in the San F ran cisco of to-day: a community of men who left the United States twenty years ago in search of fortune, and since have been sturdily battling in its pursuit; who have been shut up within themselves dur ing that period; who have received into their circle and quietly absorbed a con tinuous immigration of later date, under whose influence some features of the old er society may have been modified, with out the introduction of new features in their stead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Development of the Country; January-June, 1883 It is interesting to observe the steady beauty in the character and life. Few will doubt, then, the helpful effect of intellectual culture on the moral nature, and thus on the right conduct of life. But how few, how very few, seem to recognize the truth of the converse proposition; viz., the helpful effect of moral culture on the intel lectual perception of truth! And yet this is even more profoundly true than the other. Yes, in all the most difficult and important practical questions of life the clear percep tion of truth is almost wholly conditioned on the purity of the moral sentiments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 7: Devoted to the Development of the Country You have often asked me to tell you about my Christmas in the mines. I fear that in looking forward to my story you are anticipating something very different from its reality. Christmas has always been so pleasantly associated with mirth and revelry, with dancing and feasting, with the interchange of gifts and the formation of friendships, with the burial of deeply-cherished animosities, and the return of long-lost loved ones, that it becomes hard to believe there can be any corner of the world in which the day brings only trial and suffering. Even in the mines of California it would seem as though there must be festive gatherings in the place of labor, and an interchange of stories about the dear ones at home, and much jovial drinking of their healths; and that, for the day at least, all sickness, and weariness, and poverty, and hardship must either be absent, or, through some heroic exercise of the will, be disregarded. But that was not in my experience at the Lowber Bar. The story properly begins in the early part of the preceding fall, and with the trial of Mark Sintley, the gambler. He had appeared at Lowber Bar about a month before, and from the first had been considered by most of the miners a very undesirable acquisition. The disturbances into which his professional vocation threw us were many; and when, at last, his resort to the pistol, in a quarrel over the faro-board, put him into the power of the law, the deed was accepted almost with acclamation, as furnishing a welcome opportunity to rid ourselves of an unpleasing element. I think that scarcely an hour had elapsed before Mark Sintley was in custody, a judge elected, and a jury formed; for legal proceedings, when necessary, seldom suffered much delay in those stirring times of 1849. As I gazed at the prisoner, sitting upon a camp-stool in front of the jury, I could not resist a sentiment of regret as for a choice piece of nature unappropriately assigned. He was such a handsome fellow - not much over thirty-five years of age, tall and shapely, with dark, curling hair, bright eyes, and something in his expression that indicated a faculty of unusual fascination whenever he was disposed to exert it; having withal a not unpleasing dare-devil look, which now had full delineation as he sat smoking his cigar, with his head thrown back in a not altogether unsuccessful affectation of unconcern, though from the very first he must have known full well that his case was hopeless.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 3: Devoted to the Development of the Country During the last four or five years, the increase of the vineyard area of California has been so rapid as to give rise to considerable speculation regarding the final outcome of the movement, which stands in striking contrast to the deep depression of the vineyard interest that reached its lowest stage about the year 1875. At that time, eight dollars per ton was the highest price paid for grapes, with a slack demand; and hogs, poultry, and even neat cattle were let into the vineyards to gather the vintage, preparatory to the contemplated pulling-up of the vines, and their replacement by grain or fruit trees. The recognition of the invasion of the phylloxera added to the gloom, from which a heavy and increasing indebtedness seemed to render escape hopeless for those whose all had been staked on the success of viticulture. Wagon loads of uprooted vines entered Sonoma, and were corded up for sale as firewood around the public square of that despondent town. How greatly changed is the picture today! Not only have the abandoned vineyards been replanted in (oftentimes somewhat ill-considered) defiance of the phylloxera and all its works; but the valley lands, with a sixfold increase in value, have become too narrow for the expanding industry, and the oaks and chapparal of the mountain sides are giving way before the encroaching perennial green of the vine, both in the Coast Ranges and in the foothills of the Sierras. Even the brown, dusty plains of Fresno and Tulare are changing their sombre summer garb, and are wearing the green of the grapevine, where but a few years ago the bright but brief spring bloom of the wild flowers alone relieved the intense monotony. Even the supposed "barren mesas" of Southern California are being invaded by the vine, which seems only now to have realized that what it has been doing for centuries in the droughty coast region of Mediterranean Spain, can be done again, and better, in the more fertile soils of California. But is not grape-planting being overdone? Do we not hear of vineyards thousands of acres in extent being established, one after another, threatening to deluge the marker with their products, and finally to leave at least the small grower, if not themselves, no better off than they were in 1875?

His astonish ment at the tides of the Bay of Fundy and his wonder at the Falls of Niagara betray themselves in expressions so delicious in their simplicity that they amount almost to arguments in favor of the story. The lone liness of the western country at that time is brought vividly before our eyes, as we read that he floated down the Ohio River in his dug-out without meeting any man on the way.
