Family papers document the McPhersons' settlement in Orange County in the 1870s, and their involvement in local agriculture, first in the raisin grape industry, and then in the avocado industry. Half the collection consists of original Spanish- and English-language correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, printed materials, and ephemera collected by McPherson in the pursuit of his intellectual interests, in particular the history and anthropology of Orange County--and especially Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano--from the 1770s to the 1920s. The collection includes papers of 19th-century entrepreneur Alfred Henry Wilcox and California State Assemblyman Jeffry Joseph Prendergast, as well as a large number of documents with a focus beyond Orange County and Southern California, including Civil war diaries and letters, a collection of ship logbooks from the 1820s to the 1850s, literary scrapbooks, and McPherson’s collection of autograph letters and documents relating primarily to American, British, and California history, and dating from 1665 to 1932.

Acquisition Information Bequest of William McPherson, 1964. Custodial History note The papers were taken into the custody of William McPherson's friend and colleague, Don Meadows, acting as agent for McPherson's custodians, in early 1962. They were transferred to the Library of the Claremont Colleges, most probably in stages, between that time and approximately 1972. Accruals note Limited accruals to the collection are anticipated. Processing Information note The papers were processed by Michael P. Palmer in 2013. Biography William Frederick ("Will") McPherson was born in the family home (later given the address 11601 Prospect Avenue), east of Orange, California, on 16 July 1882, the second son and middle child of Stephen McPherson (1839-1917), a school teacher and viticulturist, and his wife, Jennie Vincent (1849-1935). His father, born in Chaumont, Jefferson County, New York, had come to Santa Clara County, California, by way of Ohio, in 1862, and to Southern California in 1872. Will McPherson graduated from Santa Ana High School in 1904, obtained a teaching credential, and for the school years 1905/1906 through 1908/1909 served as principal-teacher of the San Juan Capistrano Grammar School; dismissed from that position for an indiscretion with the daughter of a prominent local family, he obtained a similar position for the school year 1909/1910 at Fountain Valley. In August 1910, McPherson entered the University of California at Berkeley, originally studying civil engineering, but later switching to law; he graduated in June 1914. Unable to obtain other work, he returned to teaching. Despite the escapade of 1909, he was again employed as principal-teacher at San Juan Capistrano for the school year Guide to the William McPherson H.Mss.0524 2 Papers 1915/1916, but his intemperate support of Germany led to his dismissal in June 1918. This ended McPherson's formal employment: he joined his elder brother Vincent on the family farm, which was planted primarily in Valencia oranges, rare table grapes, and avocados, the latter still considered an exotic fruit, and only recently cultivated in sufficient numbers to be considered a "commercial" crop. The McPherson brothers became leading avocado growers, and Will was active in both the California Avocado Association (of which he was Secretary from 1927 to 1930) and in the California Avocado Growers Exchange (from 1927, Calavo Growers of California) cooperative. Although McPherson supported himself financially as a rancher, his real love was history and literature, in particular the history, literature, and anthropology of Southern California. Always a voracious reader, he began collecting in his teens, and in earnest when his positions as principal-teacher, and then as successful rancher, provided him with disposable income. Although McPherson initially collected only books, by the mid-1920s he had begun to collect manuscripts, newspapers, magazines, maps, and photographs as well. By 1929, the collection had grown to more than 10,000 bound volumes, plus thousands of maps, manuscripts, and ephemera, the finest private library of Southern Californiana in the country. It was so extensive that the McPherson brothers built two separate buildings, the larger eighteen by thirty feet, to house it. Although financial difficulties in the early years of the Great Depression forced McPherson to dispose of duplicate works, and even to part with some of his more valuable items, he resumed collecting in the late 1930s, and some of his most significant acquisitions of manuscripts and other archival materials date from the early 1940s. Although he published only seven articles and one book, McPherson was considered a leading expert in Southern California history, anthropology, and agriculture, and was often consulted by other researchers. However, by 1950, McPherson had ceased to collect new materials, and the order and condition of the library had begun to deteriorate. The living conditions of the McPherson brothers evidenced increasing squalor. In late 1960, Will McPherson had descended into dementia, and was removed to a nursing facility in Garden Grove; at the same time, his elder brother Vincent, who did not suffer from dementia but was frail, moved from the family home to the house of Mexican-born friends who lived nearby, where he died in May 1962. Will McPherson died in the nursing home in Garden Grove on 8 September 1964. Both brothers are buried alongside their parents and other members of the extended McPherson family in the Santa Ana Cemetery.

A grandson of the gallant Truxtun, Beale was bom in the Navy and his early life was passed at sea. However, he fought with the army at San Pasqual and when night fell upon that indecisive battlefield, with Kit Carson and an anonymous Indian, by a daring journey through a hostile country, he brought to Commodore Stockton in San Diego, the news of General Kearny's desperate situation. Beale brought the first gold East, and was truly, in those stirring days, what his friend and fellow- traveller Bayard Taylor called him, "a pioneer in the path of empire." Resigning from the Navy, Beale explored the desert trails and the moimtain passes which led overland to the Pacific, and later he surveyed the routes and built the wagon roads over which the mighty migration passed to people the new world beyond the Rockies.

  • A History of St. Mark's Parish, in Which Governor Spotswood Did Not Have a Prominent Place, Would Be Like a Portrait with the Most Prominent Feature Left Out
    A HISTORY OF ST. MARK'S PARISH CULPEPER COUNTY, VIRGINIA, WITH NOTES OF OLD CHURCHES AND OLD FAMILIES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE Manners and Customs of the Olden Time. BY REV. PHILIP SLAUGHTER, D.D. Rector of Emmanuel Church, Culpeper Co.s Va. AUTHOR OF THE HISTORIES OF ST. GSORGB'S AND BRISTOL PARISHES, VA. 1877. IKNES & COMPANY, Printers, BALTIMORE, MO. THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. The author believes that he was the first person who conceived the idea of writing a history of the old parishes in Yirginia upon the basis of the old vestry-books and registers. Thirty years ago he published the History of Bristol Parish (Petersburg), of which he was then rector. In 1849 he published the History of St. George's Parish, in Spotsylvania. His labors were then suspended by ill-health, and he went abroad, never expecting to resume them. This personal evil resulted in the general good. Bishop Meade, the most competent of all men for this special task, was induced to take up the subject, and the result was the valuable work, " The Old Ohurches and Families of Yirginia," in which the author's histories of St. George and Bristol Parishes, and some other materials which he had gathered, were incorporated. The author, in his old age, returns to his first love, and submits to the public a history of his native parish of St. Mark's. The reader will please bear in mind that this is not a general history of the civil and social institutions within the bounds of this parish, and yet he will find in it many incidental illustrations of these subjects.

I have always enjoyed reading of the experiences of California pioneers, who came here either before or after I did. The thought came to me, that possibly other people would enjoy an account of the experiences of my seventy years in the State, during which I participated in the occurrences of a very interesting period of the State's development.
