Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second edition, second printing of Farnham's account of California travel, first published in 1844 as Travels in the Californias, and scences in the Pacific Ocean (New York, 1844-1845), issued in four parts. This is the second edition under this new title, following the first which appeared in 1846. There were many revised, enlarged, and re-worked issues under a variety of titles; the 1850 edition extended to 514 pages. In 1839 Farnham was living in Peoria, Illinois, where he heard Jason Lee lecture on the Oregon mission Lee had founded. Subsequently Farnham led the Peoria Party to Oregon, where Farnham petitioned the U.S. government to annex Oregon to defend the interests of Americans in the area. Farnham's account of this phase of his travels was published as Travels in Oregon Territory (1842). Farnham then embarked on a voyage to the Sandwich Islands, and then to Monterey in California, arriving April 18, 1840. He became involved in the Graham Affair, and travelled to Baja California to secure the release of American, British, and Californio citizens who had been arrested by Governor Juan Alvarado for plotting a revolt against the Mexican government. These adventures, including historical sections on Baja California and the recent history of Alta California, are contained in the text of this volume, which is also a sequel to Travels in Oregon Territory.

Download or read book An American Genocide written by Benjamin Madley and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1846 and 1873, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide. Madley describes pre-contact California and precursors to the genocide before explaining how the Gold Rush stirred vigilante violence against California Indians. He narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned killing machine and the broad societal, judicial, and political support for genocide. Many participated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen, U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. congressmen, California governors, and others. The state and federal governments spent at least $1,700,000 on campaigns against California Indians. Besides evaluating government officials’ culpability, Madley considers why the slaughter constituted genocide and how other possible genocides within and beyond the Americas might be investigated using the methods presented in this groundbreaking book.

Download or read book The Californios written by Hunt Janin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Gold Rush of 1848–1858, Alta (Upper) California was an isolated cattle frontier—and home to a colorful group of Spanish-speaking, non-indigenous people known as Californios. Profiting from the forced labor of large numbers of local Indians, they carved out an almost feudal way of life, raising cattle along the California coast and valleys. Visitors described them as a good-looking, vibrant, improvident people. Many traces of their culture remain in California. Yet their prosperity rested entirely on undisputed ownership of large ranches. As they lost control of these in the wake of the Mexican War, they lost their high status and many were reduced to subsistence-level jobs or fell into abject poverty. Drawing on firsthand contemporary accounts, the authors chronicle the rise and fall of Californio men and women.

Download or read book Sanctioning Matrimony written by Sal Acosta and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage, divorce, birth, baptism, and census records are the essential records of a community. Through them we see who marries, who divorces, and how many children are born. Sal Acosta has studied a broad base of these vital records to produce the largest quantitative study of intermarriage of any group in the West. Sanctioning Matrimony examines intermarriage in the Tucson area between 1860 and 1930. Unlike previous studies on intermarriage, this book examines not only intermarriages of Mexicans with whites but also their unions with blacks and Chinese. Following the Treaty of Mesilla (1853), interethnic relationships played a significant part in the Southwest. Acosta provides previously unseen archival research on the scope and tenor of interracial marriages in Arizona. Contending that scholarship on intermarriage has focused on the upper classes, Acosta takes us into the world of the working and lower classes and illuminates how church and state shaped the behavior of participants in interracial unions. Marriage practices in Tucson reveal that Mexican women were pivotal in shaping family and social life between 1854 and 1930. Virtually all intermarriages before 1900 were, according to Acosta, between Mexican women and white men, or between Mexican women and blacks or Chinese until the 1920s, illustrating the importance of these women during the transformation of Tucson from a Mexican pueblo to an American town. Acosta’s deep analysis of vital records, census data, and miscegenation laws in Arizona demonstrates how interethnic relationships benefited from and extended the racial fluidity of the Arizona borderlands.
