Excerpt: ...La Paz presented his authority, sealed with the great seal bearing the symbolical nopal and Mexican reptile, to old General Blancarte, who ruled with a rawhide and laid the said rawhide on hard and heavy on all occasions. I say when Zerman presented his patent of authority and told Blancarte to get out, Blancarte called a file of ragged ruffians who collared Zerman, and Blancarte told Zerman to get in, and he was accordingly tumbled neck and heels into the La Paz lock-up, where he signed an' order for his followers to land without arms and form in front of the Quartel General, which being in due form accomplished, old Blancarte had the whole batch of fools securely ironed and sent in to keep company with their stern leader. The upshot of all this was that the whole party were finally shipped across the gulf to San Bias, and compelled to foot it all the way to the City of Mexico, each patriot carrying a chain fastened to his ankle and conveniently thrown over his shoulder by way of ornament. Smith, who was refractory, to the utmost degree, was specially honored with a pair of the aforesaid chains, one on each leg, and fastened together in the middle. They were imprisoned in the City of Mexico, and kindly treated, long enough to enable the proper authorities to inquire the reason of their foolishness, when they were released, the most of them finding employment, those who were mechanics, among whom was our angelic Smith, being placed in the government shops and foundries. Some took to the army, like poor Bob, others, following the bent of their inclinations, went to running their faces and playing monte, as had been their wont in this land of gold. And so ended the ambitious designs of the stern Admiral on our poor neighbors of Lower...

This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over four centuries, California has been an ever-changing landscape of innovation and revolution, triumph and tragedy. In Fascinating True Tales from Old California, author Colleen Adair Fliedner mines the history of the Golden State to collect more than fifty tales of famous Californians and their escapades from 1542 through 1940. For many, like James Lick, Leland Stanford, and John Downey, California was a place to strike it rich. Others sought freedom and a new beginning, including Chinese immigrants and African Americans, like philanthropist and freed slave, Biddy Mason. And still some characters just wanted to live their lives outside of society’s rules, like swindler James Reavis or the cross-dressing stagecoach driver, Charley Parkhurst. Readers will be entertained and enlightened as they take a trip through California’s colorful past.

This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] fascinating account of the twisted threads of murder, ethnic violence and mob justice in 19th century Southern California." —Jill Leovy, author of Ghettoside: A History of Murder in America, in the Los Angeles Times Los Angeles is a city founded on blood. Once a small Mexican pueblo teeming with Californios, Indians, and Americans, all armed with Bowie knives and Colt revolvers, it was among the most murderous locales in the Californian frontier. In Eternity Street: Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles, "a vivid, disturbing portrait of early Los Angeles" (Publishers Weekly), John Mack Faragher weaves a riveting narrative of murder and mayhem, featuring a cast of colorful characters vying for their piece of the city. These include a newspaper editor advocating for lynch laws to enact a crude manner of racial justice and a mob of Latinos preparing to ransack a county jail and murder a Texan outlaw. In this "groundbreaking" (True West) look at American history, Faragher shows us how the City of Angels went from a lawless outpost to the sprawling metropolis it is today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2008 — Gold Award in Californiana – California Book Awards – Commonwealth Club of California 2010 — NACCS Book Award – National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies City plazas worldwide are centers of cultural expression and artistic display. They are settings for everyday urban life where daily interactions, economic exchanges, and informal conversations occur, thereby creating a socially meaningful place at the core of a city. At the heart of historic Los Angeles, the Plaza represents a quintessential public space where real and imagined narratives overlap and provide as many questions as answers about the development of the city and what it means to be an Angeleno. The author, a social and cultural historian who specializes in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Los Angeles, is well suited to explore the complex history and modern-day relevance of the Los Angeles Plaza. From its indigenous and colonial origins to the present day, Estrada explores the subject from an interdisciplinary and multiethnic perspective, delving into the pages of local newspapers, diaries and letters, and the personal memories of former and present Plaza residents, in order to examine the spatial and social dimensions of the Plaza over an extended period of time. The author contributes to the growing historiography of Los Angeles by providing a groundbreaking analysis of the original core of the city that covers a long span of time, space, and social relations. He examines the impact of change on the lives of ordinary people in a specific place, and how this change reflects the larger story of the city.
