Biography Charles Caldwell Dobie was born in San Francisco March 15, 1881, and unlike many California writers who went East after their first success, he continued to live in his native city. He attended local schools and, because of the death of his father and the necessity of contributing to family support, he never went beyond grammar school in formal education. He went into insurance work, starting as an errand boy and eventually becoming office manager. When he was nineteen he joined a class in short story writing inaugurated by W. C. Morrow, the noted journalist and writer. Under his direction, Dobie learned the short story craft. Writing in his spare time, he worked for ten years without selling a line. In October 1910 his first story was published in the San Francisco Argonaut. In 1916 he resigned his insurance position to devote full time to writing. Thereafter he became a regular contributor to leading magazines, including Smart Set, Harper's, Scribner's and Pictorial Review. Many of his stories were selected for inclusion in "best short story" anthologies, notably the Edward J. O'Brien and O. Henry memorial collections. His first novel, The Blood Red Dawn, was published in 1920. Other novels include Broken to the Plow (ca. 1921), Less than Kin (1926) and Portrait of a Courtesan (1934). In addition, he wrote from time to time, a number of newspaper columns, the most famous of which was "The Caliph in San Francisco," appearing in the San Francisco Bulletin, 1925-1926. The books which permanently identified him in the public mind with San Francisco were San Francisco: A Pageant (1933) and San Francisco's Chinatown (1936). Dobie died in his home in San Francisco on January 11, Finding Aid to the Charles BANC MSS C-H 31 3 Caldwell Dobie Papers, [circa 1905-1943] 1943.

    Dickey: So we were never sure just where we were going to be in the city. My mother and father usually rented a flat. Some times (I think in the beginning) they stayed in the St. Dunstan Apartments, which was an apartment hotel on Sacramento Street between Van Ness and Franklin. Leider : What was their reason for coming into the city for several months? Dickey: Primarily the weather, because my father commuted every day to San Francisco from Belvedere, and in the wintertime it was pretty rough. Leider: How did he travel? Do you know? Dickey: On the ferryboat. In the beginning there was a ferry from Tiburon directly to the Ferry Building, and then he would take the California streetcar to his office, or very often he would walk because he was a great walker. Then, later on, they put a temporary little ferry from Sausalito to Tiburon, so the ferry from San Francisco just went as far as Sausalito, and then there was a little one there that picked the passengers up and took them into Tiburon. Leider: What was your father s job at this time? Dickey; In the beginning my father worked for the Spreckels Company and then later on he was in the blueprinting business. Leider: What was his full name? Dickey: Albert Bierstadt Russell. Leider : And tell a little something about his background. ^ . Dickey: Well, my father s family, jny father s mother and father, came from New Bedford, Massachusetts. His father had been a sea Dickey: captain. His grandfather was also interested in the sea, and he was a whaler as well as a painter, and his name was Benjamin Russell.

Important contributions by women in creating the history of the "Golden State" are briefly described. Helping to build the fine traditions of the West are Dona Marina, who served as a channel of Spanish American communication with the Aztecs; Nancy Kelsey, the first American woman to cross the plains to California in a wagon; Rosie Winters, who helped discover borax; Elodie Hogam Belloc; Aimee McPherson, an evangelist; the writer Gertrude Atherton; Sister of the "Reliquese De Sacre Coeur" uho was active in education; the opera star Luisa Tetrazzini; Dr. Louise Hector, a pioneer physician; and Sister Marie Goemaere who founded Women's College.

  • Prose Writing, 1860-1920
    THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE The Cambridge History of American Literature addresses the broad spectrum of new and established directions in all branches of American writing and includes the work of scholars and critics who have shaped, and who continue to shape, what has become a major area of literary scholarship. The authors span three decades of achievement in American literary criticism, thereby speaking for both conti- nuity and change between generations of scholarship. Generously proportioned narratives allow at once for a broader vision and sweep of American literary history than has been possible previously. And while the voice of traditional criticism forms a background for these narratives, it joins forces with the diversity of interests that characterize contemporary literary studies. The History offers wide-ranging, interdisciplinary accounts of American genres and periods. Generated partly by the recent unearthing of previously neglected texts, the expansion of material in American literature coincides with a dramatic increase in the diversity of approaches to that material. The mul- tifaceted scholarly and critical enterprise embodied in The Cambridge History of American Literature addresses these multiplicities – social, cultural, intellec- tual, and aesthetic – and demonstrates a richer concept of authority in literary studies than is found in earlier accounts. This volume covers a pivotal era in the formation of American identity. Four leading scholars connect the literature with the massive historical changes then underway. Richard H. Brodhead describes the foundation of a permanent literary culture in America. Nancy Bentley locates the origins of nineteenth- century Realism in an elite culture’s responses to an emergent mass culture, embracing high literature as well as a wide spectrum of cultural outsiders: African Americans, women, and Native Americans.
