Volkmann Jr. Collection of The Zamorano References Cited California Colonial Bibliography by W. Michael Mathes Index Conditions of Sale & Limited Warranty v A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE VOLKMANN COLLECTION S was born in the town of Tehama on the Sacramento River in Northern BCalifornia. Her father Andrew Simpson had come across the plains from Pennsylvania in the s and bought ranch land on the banks of the Sacramento River outside of town. He married Emma Allen Owen, born in Mariposa, California, in .The Simpson home and ranch are shown in a lithographic view in The History of Tehama County, Elliot and Moore, Publishers, . Beatrice Simpson Volkmann Andrew and Emma’s only daughter was sent to Berkeley to board at the Anna Head School. On the death of her father, her mother moved to Oakland, and Beatrice attended the Universi- ty of California. At the end of her sophomore year she was invited to accompany her close friend and Anna Head School classmate Else Schilling and the Schilling family to Europe. The trip last- ed several months, and on her return she did not go back to the University. In , she married Daniel G. Volkmann whose grandfather William Daegener was the Wells Fargo Agent in Columbia, California, in the middle of the gold country, from to .A fire destroyed much of the town in , including the company building. Daegener rebuilt a new two-story brick building with the family quarters over the office. That Wells Fargo building still stands today in Columbia, now a California State Park. Volkmann’s father, George F. Volkmann, arrived in San Francisco from Bremen, Germany, in and went to work for the coffeehouse of Folger, Schilling & Co. In ,August Schilling and Volkmann left the firm to found A. Schilling & Co. with Volkmann as one-third owner, later revised to equal ownership. The company sold coffee, tea, baking powder, mustard, and spices. vii The second premises the company occupied were at Market Street. Note the -foot pole at curbside with a copper kettle mounted on top from which steam poured out of the spout (see photo). In , the firm erected factory and office buildings at the southeast corner of Second and Folsom Streets on a lot feet square. On April , , the entire plant was destroyed by the earthquake and fire; it was rebuilt the following year at the same location (see engraving). Today the site is occu- pied by a large, high-rise office building. In , the Volkmann family bought out the Schilling interests and continued the business until ,when it was sold to McCormick & Co. of Baltimore. A. Schilling & Company at Market Street. Beatrice Volkmann, with the history of her own family and her husband’s family in California, enjoyed reading about the history of the state. She first bought Grabhorn Press books that were reprints of early California stories and histories. The family pediatrician was Dr. George D. Lyman, author of John Marsh Pioneer: Saga of the Comstock Lode and other books about California. As a good friend and mentor he advised her as she collected and read Californiana over the years. On her death in , her library was appraised by Warren Howell at ,..The most valu- able book was Louis Choris’s Voyage Autour du Monde, valued at ,.Fourteen Zamorano first edi- tions were included. Her daughter, Virginia Volkmann Bosche, took a few books that interested her, and her son, Daniel G. Volkmann Jr., inherited the remainder. As an architect, the Grabhorn items particularly interested him because of their handsome design. Over the years, A. Schilling & Co. had commissioned a few of the Grabhorn imprints about the company. And Beatrice Volkmann commissioned the Grabhorns to print a limited fine edition in of a short piece about the founders of the family business by Robert O’Brien, Two Young Men from Bremen, soon after its publi- cation in the San Francisco Chronicle. Dan Volkmann’s wife, Marvin Johnson Volkmann, who died in , was also from a pioneer California family. Her great-great-grandfather, John Conness, emigrated from Ireland to the United States in and arrived in California in .A few years later he was elected United States Senator from California and served from to . Mount Conness in Yosemite National Park is named for him. viii Marvin Volkmann’s grandfather, C. R. Johnson, founded the Union Lumber Company in Fort Bragg, California, in . It was the second-largest producer of redwood lumber in the state for many years. Her father, Otis R. Johnson, and brother, C. Russell Johnson, were successive com- pany presidents until the company was sold in . Dan Volkmann at first bought a few Grabhorns from David Magee and Warren Howell. Later some of the first editions that had been reprinted by the Grabhorns came to auction and were purchased. As his interests grew and became more varied, so did the library.After twenty-nine Daniel G. Volkmann Jr. years there were some eighteen hundred volumes, including seventy-five Zamorano first editions. The Volkmann Grabhorn Press collection is among the most complete anywhere. Among the many books illustrated by Valenti Angelo there are three copies, all different, of The Book of Ruth, which Angelo illustrated for the Grabhorn Press. The collection is not restricted to the fine print- ing of the Grabhorn Press alone. A collection of the exquisite imprints of the Allen Press is com- plete. The handsome publications of the Book Club of California are well represented, as are outstanding examples from other California fine presses. A recent acquisition is the magnificent two-volume Holy Bible, with initial letters designed by Sumner Stone and printed at San Fran- cisco’s Arion Press. First editions of California classics include fine copies of the best works of a wide variety of authors: Robinson Jeffers’s The Women at Point Sur; John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath; John Linville Hall’s Journal of the Hartford and Union Mining & Trading Company, ;The Yosemite Book; and early San Francisco directories. Selected works by Bret Harte, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Austin, Jack London, John Muir, Charles Warren Stoddard, and Frank Norris are also represented. Maps in the collection include Jackson’s Map of the Mining Districts of California; T. H . Jefferson’s maps of the route to California; Cooke & LeCount’s map of San Francisco; Colton’s Map of the United States showing the Gold Regions in California; Quirot Co’s map of San Francisco, ; and Herman Moll’s large color map of North America showing Califor- nia as an island, . ix In , five of the most rare Zamorano books were purchased at auction. Shortly thereafter it was discovered that Zamorano title #,T.J.Farnham’s History of California, was a second edi- tion. After several years of search a very fine copy of the first edition of the Farnham was bought from a private collector, which completed the Zamorano collection now offered at auction. Mr. Volkmann is a member of the Roxburghe Club of San Francisco, a member and past director of the Book Club of California, a member of the Grolier Club, past president of the Gleason Library Associates of the University of San Francisco, and presently serves on the Council of the Friends of the Bancroft Library.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

To be sure, his success against the latter had been far from noteworthy; both in the missions and in the native habitat the aboriginal population'had declined, and the Indian had been forced to give ground politically and racially before the advance of Spanish colonization.

    EL CULTO DE GUADALUPE Y EL PROYECTO TRIDENTINO EN LA NUEVA ESPAÑA Alicia MAYER Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas - UNAM [email protected] Contrarreforma y guadalupanismo novohispano1 Edmundo O’Gorman señaló en su obra sobre el guadalupanismo, Destierro de sombras,2 que existía una estrecha relación entre la Con- trarreforma y el culto a la virgen de Guadalupe. Si bien sus intere- ses se movían hacia otra esfera interpretativa, dejó asentada esta particularidad y el hecho de que ambos sucesos se revelan como ejemplos de amplia continuidad histórica.3 Desde luego, enumerar siquiera todas las conexiones que se vis- lumbran en el periodo colonial sobrepasaría los límites de este trabajo. Encontrar los vínculos entre dichos aspectos es una investigación que está en proceso, dada la importancia, la extensión y la pertinencia del tema en nuestra historiografía. Por ello, ahora sólo se aprovecha 1 Agradezco a Jorge Traslosheros, Marialba Pastor, William Taylor, Pilar Martínez, Ali- cia Bazarte y a los árbitros anónimos de la revista Estudios de Historia Novohispana sus valio- sos comentarios y sugerencias respecto a este trabajo. 2 Destierro de sombras.

  • ​Homes of Famous Carmelites
    Homes of Famous Carmelites ​ To see on Google Maps: https://bit.ly/2XBf0Lx ​ ​ Numbers in parentheses refer to the map in Creating Carmel by Ann and Harold Gilliam (1992), pgs. 66-67. ​ · Mary Hunter Austin House (24) – Miss Austin moved to Carmel around 1907, after her participation in the ​ ​ ​ legendary California Water Wars, and after living in the Mojave Desert for many years. An ardent feminist and human rights activist, the prolific poet, playwright and novelist built the serene and secluded “Rose Cottage” th located at 4 ​ Avenue and Monte Verde Street. It sits on a flat spot on top of a steeply sloped property down in ​ a gully, and there is a huge oak tree in front of it. Mary Austin did much of her writing in a tree house she called “Wick-i-up.” The cottage has extensive gardens and two gates with paths leading to it from each side of the intersection of Lincoln and Fourth. · George Sterling House (12) – The handsome poet known to his friends as “The King of Bohemia” built a ​ ​ ​ bungalow in the piney slopes above Carmel Mission, located on Torres Street. It is the third house south of 10th ​ Avenue on the east side. The poet’s home featured a large living room with an oversized fireplace made of stones Sterling had hauled from Carmel Valley. Friends and fellow artists such as Upton Sinclair, Jack London and James Hopper gathered here to carouse, organize beach parties and tell tales. The house is surrounded by a high wire fence. · Arnold Genthe House (32) – At the turn of the 20th century, Genthe’s photographs of San Francisco’s ​ ​ ​ society matrons and the denizens of Chinatown earned him a living but it was his record of the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake that made him famous.
