It lasts but a day, and scarcely half of that, if the sun be not clouded. The year 1849 brought new life into San Jose, as it did in fact to various other localities throughout the then territory. Although there had been a universal rush to the mines, it had somewhat abated; that is, all that had taken their chances with pick and spade, had not been successful, notwithstanding the hardships and deprivations with which they met. The necessities of the people increased, and the production of them required other application than that of mining. Many had returned to San Jos6 after trying their fortunes in the mines, others came to the valley without first experimenting in the art of mining. The influx was greater than the outgoing stream, and the town wore more the aspect of a half military and half civil settlement. The numerous white tents that dotted the plains, some of which were arrared in regular order on a line with the streets, gave a military air to the scene. It is true., no long array of bristling bayonets were seen', but the bowieknife and revolver were belted on the majority of men, and strains of martial music greeted the ear, calling for recruits under the banner of King Phar-a-oh. All of the necessities of life became exceedingly dear; cultivating the soil had been almost wholly neglected, flour went up to fifty dollars per barrel; nearly all that was consumed came from Chili, as it had iu the latter part of the previous year. The reapers of the Chilian fields had found a golden In the technical language of the faro dealers and players, that game was dignified with the appellation of King Pharaoh. market for their golden harvest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of San Jose and Surroundings: With Biographical Sketches The principal events which have occurred in the Valley of Santa Clara, from its first settlement by the whites to the present time, must ever be regarded important to the people of the State; and particularly to the residents of the Valley, and to their relatives and intimate friends who reside far beyond the confines of California. This portion of the State has been denominated its "Paradise"; and, perhaps, not altogether without reason. Inquiries have frequently been made, by strangers here from the East, for its history; and, in most cases, the answer that there is no such history has been heard with surprise. The facts which present themselves to the stranger's mind, namely: that this Valley contains the most ancient Pueblo in the State; two old Missions; and the New Almaden Quicksilver Mine, were enough from which to draw a reasonable conclusion that some collection of their past events should have been given to the public in an historical form. Having resided many years in the Valley, knowing many facts pertaining to its history, and feeling much interest in its prosperity, I have been prompted to exert my best endeavors to place before the public what should not be buried, and what ought to be considered interesting annals.

This book was released on 1980-09-10 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nobody wanted to go at first. California was practically uninhabited except for the Indians. Those first residents had to be paid to go and there were few takers. The first years were hard and supplies scarce. Still, those early families managed to grow enough foodstuffs to plant a firm hold in the land. It was truly a cultural melding from the first — of Indian, Spanish and Mexican people and a few others. Then in 1848, California joined the United States. That move — and the lure of gold nearby — gave the city the boost it needed.” “Newcomers soon realized the land was good. Fruits and flowers were abundant and the climate mild. It was the kind of place men dreamed of — and many followed their dreams. They called it the Garden City. Like all cities, it had its problems. But its leaders were both dreamers and doers — they anticipated, prepared and planned. The growth from a struggling outpost to a complex cultural and economic society has been a major evolution — and a tribute to those who made their dreams — and the city of San Jose — come true.” San Jose: California’s First City California’s first city, San jose, represents a microcosm of the development of the Golden State’s urban centers. Over the last two centuries, the “Garden City” has occupied an important position as California’s first civilian settlement, first state capital, leading agricultural center and nucleus of the space-age electronics industry. As narrated by the distinguished historian Edwin A. Beilharz, San jose was founded as a planned civil settlement. In 1777, Governor Felipe de Neve established the pueblo in the lush Santa Clara Valley to provide a reliable food source for the growing yet isolated colony of Alta California. It soon emerged as a major producer of cereal grains, orchard fruit and cattle. During the Spanish and Mexican era, San Jose also served as a social center for the nearby ranchos and attracted such influential families as Peralta, Suriol, Castro and Vasquez. By the late 1830s and 1840s, foreign visitors eyed California with envy. Several saw the promise of the verdant valley. Political upheavals in Mexico made possible the easy assimilation of non-Mexican residents. With the conclusion of the Mexican War and the ‘Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, San _lose and California became a formal possession of the United States. Donald O. DeMers takes up the story with the establishment of American rule in California. The discovery of gold on the American River changed the entire complexion of California and quickly led to admission as a state in 1850. As the result of a strong lobbying effort, the newly formed state government selected San Jose as its first capital. Political infighting ensued, and the state Legislature moved the capital to Benecia after only one year. Despite this blow, the city on the Guadalupe River continued to expand, capitalizing on its mild climate, abundant water supply, proximity to San Francisco Bay and fertility of the Santa Clara Valley. Confusion over Mexican land grants also opened vast tracts of land for development. San Jose took prominence in wine production, fruit raising, silk culture, nurseries and agricultural experimentation. The advent of the railroad made possible the establishment of a packing and shipping economy. The pueblo was soon transformed from a collection of crude adobes to one of frame houses, brick business blocks, schools, churches, theaters and parks replete with horsecars traveling along tree-lined streets. After the 1906 earthquake, San Jose entered the twentieth century as a typical American city. It experienced the anxiety of World War 1, jubilation of the 1920s, subterfuge of prohibition and the Great Depression. During this time, too, sensational events rocked the city _ the tragic Hart kidnapping and the lynchings at St. _lames Park. World War ll shifted the socio-economic base from a land of gardens and orchards to that of a defense production center. The burgeoning population of defense workers, engineers and scientists created a new force for continued development. Excerpt From: Edwin A. Beilharz and Donald O. DeMers Jr. “San·Jose California’s First City.” iBooks.

Book excerpt: Family and Divorce in California succeeds in reconstructing the private world of farmers, laborers, small-town merchants tradesmen, and housewives through an examination of local newspapers, census data, legal documents, and, above all, divorce records during the years 1850 to 1890. Some 400 divorce cases from two rural counties form the core of the study.

A wide variety of topics is covered: basic family values women's health, work, sexuality, character, and indepdence men's work, sexual conduct, and affective retions the nature of parenthood, childhood, and marital companionship domestic violenc The book also explores the early years of the divorce crisis that began in the 1880s and answers the questions of how and why it developed.
