Book Description
Excerpt from The Land of Gold: A Tale of 49, Illustrative of Early Pioneer Life in California, and Founded Upon Fact, Dedicated to California Pioneers This narrative, presented with many misgivings as to its acceptance by the general reader, and written during an illness of some months' duration, is contributed to the file of literature for the purpose of keeping green the memory of the achievements of the early pioneers in California, and to show future generations what it cost to add what was once a wild and unbroken solitude to civilization and fame. In reviving scenes long since forgotten and re producing characters buried in eternal sleep, I am actuated by a desire to commemorate their deeds and to leave to their posterity a memorial, humble as it is, in respectful remembrance, to the bravery and persistent endurance which marked their tracks through the wildest regions of the Sierra Nevadas.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fourteenth Anniversary of the Society of California Pioneers The President called the brethren to order. He proposed as the first regular toast: "The President of the United States." To this sentiment Dr. Bellows responded in a very happy vein, and seized upon the occasion to pay a passing tribute to tho energy, honesty and patriotism of our next, as of our present Executive, Abraham Lincoln. The only other regular toast given was "The Slate of California." to which E. IT. Washburn, Esq., made a glowing speech in response, which elicited great applause. Volunteer sentiments and speeches followed in rapid succession, toasts being proposed to the "Army and Navy," "General Sutter." "The Clergy," "General Sherman," and others. At the mention of the hero of Atlanta's name, there was a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm, which made the welkin ring. Dr. Bellows was again pressed into the arena, and passed a beautiful culogium 011 the brave Pioneer. Whilst the festivities were at their height, Grant's letter endorsing the nomination of Lincoln, was brought in, and read by the President. Long-continued cheering followed, only interrupted by brief tributes to the valor of the Lieutenant-General, by patriotic members. The President, in the earlier part of the festivities, toasted the Orator of the Day in a speech fraught with eloquence and feeling. For hours the feast of reason and flow of soul continued, and not until the shades of evening began to fall, did the Society of California Pioneers conclude their celebration of the natal day of the State, founded by themselves on these shores of the Oeeident.

Book Description
Excerpt from Eldorado or California: As Seen by a Pioneer, 1850-1900 There are still living, after the lapse of fifty years, many Pioneers, and more of their descendants, to whom I trust the following pages will bear more than a passing interest. To the pioneers they will restore the fast fading recollections of events in which their experiences were to a large extent very similar to my own. One by one our comrades are dropping from sight, passing to that new "Eldorado," whose streets are paved with gold, and where the hot blasts of sandy deserts, and the difficulties and dangers of the pioneer's life are unknown. This work, which has been a labor of love, was undertaken after solicitation of those whose judgment I respect. While written entirely from memory, I have endeavored to record simply facts and events as they occurred, and for my narrative lay no claim to literary merit. Whatever its defects I crave the indulgence of my pioneer comrades, and a generous public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
