  • The Outpouring of Support
    Sir Harold Evans Sir Harold Evans was the editor of The Sunday Times from 1967 to 1981 and the Times in 1981. From 1990 until 1997, he was the president and publisher of Random House, and later the editorial director for US News and World Report, the New York Daily News, and The Atlantic Monthly. He edited three books by Henry Kissinger, My American Journey by Colin Powell, Game Plan: How to Conduct the U.S. Soviet Contest by Zbiginew Brzezinski; Debt and Danger: The World Economic Crisis by Harold Lever; and The Yom Kippur War by The Insight Team of The Sunday Times. He is additionally the author, in association with Edwin Taylor, of Pictures on a Page. Continuously in print for 37 years, the publication is the culmination of a five-volume series on editing and design featuring interviews by Henri Cartier Bresson, Bert Stern, Harry Benson, Bill Brandt, Eddie Adams, Andre Kertesz, Eugene Smith, and Richard Avedon. Evans' best known work, The American Century, won critical acclaim when published in 1998, staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 10 weeks. The sequel, They Made America (2004), describes the lives of some of the country's most important inventors and innovators, and was named by Fortune as one of the best books in the 75 years of that magazine's publication. The latter was adapted as a four-part television mini-series that same year and as a National Public Radio special in the USA in 2005. sirharoldevans.com Dedicated to the public exploration of the early history of New Amsterdam and New York City April 1, 2020 Hon.

The person most responsible for this revival is T. M. Pearce, who has contributed the largest share to the collection of writings about Mary Austin with publication of his Beloved House in 1940, Mary Hunter Austin in 1970, and with Literary America 1903-1934: The Mary Austin Letters in 1979. While Pearce's previous studies have been largely biographical in nature, Literary America helps to place Austin in perspective among her peers as one of the most highly-respected writers of the first three decades of the twentieth cen­ tury.

  • Walkin' in the Footsteps of Joaquin Miller
    Walkin’ in the Footsteps of Joaquin Miller The California Writers Club’s Role in Joaquin Miller Park Background Information Timeline 1886 “Poet of the Sierras” Joaquin Miller built his home, the “Abbey” and other structures on the land he called “The Hights” (his spelling) in the deforested Oakland Hills He began planting over 70,000 trees. 1904 Joaquin Miller began building monuments 1906-1909 After the 1906 SF earthquake, Jack London and his literary friends who formed the CWC & Beyond met for outdoor salons--a “blanket and a basket of chow” --on the lands then-owned by Joaquin Miller. These legendary writers formed the CWC in 1909, making what is now Joaquin Miller Park the birthplace of the CWC. Outdoor artistic and literary events continued through the late 1980’s. 1913 Joaquin Miller died. The CWC led the campaign to convince the City of Oakland to buy the lands and turn it into a public park. The CWC incorporated as nonprofit. The CWC adopted the words “Sail On” from Joaquin Miller’s poem, Columbus, as its motto The CWC commissioned the woodcut of its logo. 1914 The CWC published its first West Winds Anthology with contributions and editing by founding CWC members. 1917 The City of Oakland bought Joaquin Miller’s land 1925 The CWC published its second West Winds, a book of verse. 1930 The CWC began planting trees in honor of California writers who had made significant literary contributions. The CWC planted its first tree in honor of Joaquin Miller and the last one about 1985. The CWC idea of a Writers Memorial Grove grew, likely in response to Joaquin Miller’s dream of an artistic retreat in the Oakland Hills.
