Book Description
Englishman Robert Livermore jumped ship in Southern California in 1822, yet just 15 years later became the respected owner of the 40,000-acre Las Positas land grant. Here he built his new Californio wife an adobe house in 1839. The wealth that flowed into California during the gold rush allowed Livermore to import a two-story house around the Horn, but entrepreneurs and squatters flowed in as well. Nathaniel Patterson opened the first hotel in the old Livermore adobe, frequented by miners on their way from the South Bay to the Sierra gold mines. Laddsville, a village built where the roads to Stockton and Dublin met, was also a going concern until the Central Pacific pushed over the Altamont Pass. On this line grew the town founded by William Mendenhall in 1869, named for pioneer Livermore, who had died more than a decade earlier. Soon Livermore became the valley's commercial center for hay, wheat, barley, wine grapes, and ranching.

Our Friend the Dog

Pages : 90
Book Description
Belgian playwright and poet Maurice Maeterlinck is best known for his Symbolist dramas, but in this 1905 volume, the Nobel Laureate gives what might be one of the most endearing and thought-provoking tributes to a dog in 20th-century literature. Upon the passing of his beloved French Bulldog, Pelléas, Maeterlinck reflects upon the relationship of man to dog and ponders the dog's instinctive understanding of and love for his master. Perhaps most touching, though, are Maeterlinck's remembrances of Pelléas himself. After all, what dedicated dog owner cannot relate to the "smile of attentive obligingness, of incorruptible innocence, of affectionate submission, of boundless gratitude and total self-abandonment" that lights up a dog's face when his owner comes home?
