Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sixty Years in California: A History of Events and Life in California; Personal, Political and Military The author came to California in 1831, seventeen years before the discovery of gold in Sutter´s mill-race, and married into a native California family of Spanish extraction. He has continued to reside in the department and State ever since, except when absent from it on business. He has had an extended experience in the manners and customs of the people, their methods of trade, of the social and political history of the department and of its successor, the State, as that history was evolved through all the stirring events of that period, to the American occupation, down to the present date. There is an under-current in social life abounding in genial interchange of amenities, which is preserved only in tradition, to be recited in family circles, and from this source the author has obtained much valuable information. All this has enabled him in these personal recollections, to rescue from oblivion events that are herein recorded, narrations of which cannot be found elsewhere. Many of them are instructive, interesting and amusing. Instructive, in portraying the vast resources of the Department; its well stocked haciendas and its extended commerce. Interesting, in its incidents of personal matters; and amusing in the natural humor characteristic of many of the inhabitants.
