Download or read book California Men and Events written by George H. Tinkham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Men and Events: Time 1769-1890 In this little volume the compiler has made no effort to write in the so-called literary style. He has simply attempted to record, in a brief and an interesting manner, a few of the many events in the days forever past. To save space, he has crowded many of the important incidents into the notes and so do not overlook the notes. Authorities, yes, he has not forgotten them. The author, during the past thirty years, has read or glanced through, everything that "came his way" regarding California history. Nearly all of the events that have been written, save from hooks of individual experiences, have been taken from Bancroft's, and Hittell's histories, and from Spanish and pioneer manuscripts. They are the original sources of general information. The author occupies a rather unique or peculiar position. It is between the twilight and the sun-rise, so to speak. In boyhood he mingled with the pioneers. He attended the public schools and grew to manhood, with other pioneer sons. He has seen the majority of the '49ers pass on to the land whose streets are paved with gold. And he now sees a second generation of native sons, spring into birth and active life. Hence enjoying the greater part of his days in California atmosphere, he knows whereof he writes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Men, Vol. 3: September, 1912 The California Development Board began some year and a half ago an active investigation of the problems of Immigration as they bear, and may be expected to bear, upon this State. It has, since that time, followed a consistent course of collecting data, arousing general interest in the importance of the subject, and emphasizing the need for intelligent com prehension of our problems, that we, as a State, may make adequate prep aration for'the solving of them. Nothing so fundamentally underlies an initial approach to the while matter, and is so necessary to the development of any plans that may be undertaken, as an accurate and complete knowledge of California. It will doubtless surprise many pe0p1e to be informed that such a comprehensive mass of information is not at the present time available. Much informa tion can be secured from scattered sources; much that vitally relates to our resources and development has never been studied and reported upon in a systematic fashion.

Book Synopsis California Men, Vol. 1 by : Young Men's Christian Associations
Download or read book California Men, Vol. 1 written by Young Men's Christian Associations and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Men, Vol. 1: June, 1910 Niwa in Korea and Hibbard in Dalny, with responsibility both for Manchuria and Korea, are the Association's concrete response to the call of this modern Macedonia. The loss of Mr. Niwa from the Bible Study Movement in Japan will be a real one, but fortunately we are able to call upon a number of Christian professors and secretaries in different parts of the country to assist. For example, in January, I spent a week in the Island of Kyushu in company with local professors and secretaries, holding three excellent Bible Institutes which resulted in rooting the group idea more firmly. Three new groups were formed. The progress made in Bible Study by Osaka under the guidance of Secretaries Sajima and Gleason has been one of the most encouraging features of the last few months. They now have some 329 men in average attendance in 27 Bible Classes each week, and they have worked out an interesting English Course in the Life of Christ. The visit of the Japanese Commercial Commission to America has already told helpfully on the movement here. At a banquet tendered to Baron Shibusawa and several others of the commission, the Baron spoke emphatically of the service rendered by the Associations in America and expressed the hope that the Associations in Japan would soon be able to expand their equipment and activity so as to become an equally effective factor for character and efficiency. The completion of the Kobe Building Lot Fund by a short term campaign was a unique event in Japanese Association history. The sum, for America, was not large - $15,000 in all - but no like amount had ever been raised for any Christian object in a single city in Japan. To be sure, three fifths of the amount had been secured by patient work during the past two and a half years, but the quick spurt at the end was due to the skilful guidance of H. A. Wilbur, the new secretary. Compared with raising $500,000 for Dayton's great building, $15,000 sounds like a bagatelle, but I venture to say that it cost Mr. Wilbur almost as much nerve force as the Dayton campaign; and it meant as much to the Kingdom. For some time the tide has been setting in the direction of more effective co-operation between all the churches and missions for the reaching of the unevangelized masses, and it has seemed to the Association men that we should do everything in our power to further it. Consequently at the annual meeting of the Standing Committee of all the missions in Japan, in January, after a splendid address on the subject by Dr. Howard (former president of the Association at Otterbein University) I moved that a Committee of Missionaries and Japanese undertake a study of the whole Empire in order to determine what still remained to be done and what forces and institutions would be needed if the Empire were to be measurably Christianized within the next fifty years. Then, in February, I was unexpectedly asked to write a paper on that very subject for the Edinburgh World's Missionary Conference, so that I had to make a hurried but comprehensive study of the question. This involved numerous interviews with Christian leaders, and gave some stimulus to the trend toward co-operation and toward grappling with the needs of the whole Empire. In Osaka, Sajima and Gleason have been instrumental in getting all the churches lined up for a city-wide and county-wide campaign of evangelism and Bible Study that has already brought in hundreds of converts and inquirers and gives promise of bigger things to follow. Mr. Hibbard's temporary stay in Tokyo prior to beginning work in Dalny has incidentally helped the Tokyo Directors to raise $1300 in a few days, making possible a new student hostel just behind the city building, for the Commercial College men. It has also been a great delight to me to have him as neighbor and daily counsellor. If it were not for the great work that beckons

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Days of California: Embracing What I Saw and Heard There, With Scenes in the Pacific We may learn much from the pulseless soli tudes - from the desert untrodden by the foot of living thing - from the frozen world of mountains, whose chasms and cliffs never echoed to aught but the thunder-tempests girding their frozen peaks from old Nature, piled, rocky, bladeless, toneless if we will allow its lessons of awe to reach the mind, and impress it with the fresh and holy images which they were made to inspire. And now, dear reader, my task is done. Should you laugh and weep, suffer and rejoice, with the actors in the wayfarings before you, and send your fancy in after-times over those rose-clad realms where they will lead you, and feel the dews of a pleasant remembrance falling on your life, I shall receive a full reward for my toil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California 46 to 88 T is usual for a bookmaker to present himself to his readers by something in way of preface. This might not be needed in the present case were it not that this writer deems it well to apologize for his boldness as an unlettered man, in trying to write a book at all, and also to crave that his frequent use of the first personal pronoun singular may not be set down to vanity, but rather to the fact of its being convenient for stating, briefly, matters personal to himself, and of his own memory and experience. To old Pioneers in the American settlement of California some parts of the following record may appear incorrect, and some may be too familiar or unimportant to be interesting but let each fact be taken as a link in a chain of a California life, and its value, though small, may be acknowledged. It has appeared to this writer that every fact relating to the early settlement of California should be recorded and treasured up in fact, that it is the duty of every Pioneer to put in writing his early California experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Old California I had just come out of the Mission Garden, that quaint old spot laid out so many years ago n the early Fathers to be their last resting-place. Adre Ximeno was a dear friend of mine and I never lost an opportunity for an hour's gossip whenever I found myself in the little pueblo of Dos Cuervos. I was still lingering for a few last words with the good Old man, though the bells for vespers were ringing loudly, and I knew I should be keeping him from his duty, when the figure of a woman came toiling up the steep path to the foothills. Shrivelled and dark, old and frail, she seemed scarcely able to pull one foot after the other; nevertheless she was carrying a half-grown dog in one arm, while with the other hand she partly led, partly dragged two miserable mongrels tied to gether by pieces of old gunny-sack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Untold Tales of California: Short Stories Illustrating Phases of Life Peculiar to Early Days in the West, Embalmed in Book That They May Remain When the Actors Are Gone The men who were participants in, or at least witnesses of, many characteristic tragedies or other thrilling or interesting happenings of the earlier California life, and who have fascinated succeeding generations by their narratives, are fast passing to their reward, and very soon some of the richest true stories of Western life will be told for the last time unless they can be embalmed in literature while at least a few of the actors are yet here to authenticate them. Untold Tales, which is to say unrecorded tales of California, is a theme worthy of the ablest pen, and the data necessary to its com pleteness is deserving of extended research. It may now be too late to do the subject full jus tice, as doubtless many interesting stories aregone with those whose words or deeds created them. It is with the view of recording a few inci dents and happenings peculiar to early life in California, which otherwise might soon be for gotten, that the following brief stories are writ ten, and not with any hope of domg the subject that full justice which ought to be done by some one who has more talent and time to devote to it.

The room did not say, See what my master can afford; see what a surfeit Of wealth I hold. Nay, it said, My master is reflected in me; here is seren ity and refinement, not an embarrassment of riches. The room was not like some banker's good wife who is lost behind the glamour of her jewels, but was like that good-wife who herself adorns her apparel, whose adornment is for gotten in herself.
