Llano del Rio Colony Records, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Gift of Mellie Calvert, 1969-1972, and Knox Mellon, December 1975. Historical Note The Llano del Rio Co-operative Colony was incorporated in 1914 by Los Angeles attorney Job Harriman, the socialist nominee for mayor of Los Angeles in 1911. The settlement was located in the Antelope Valley of California near Pearblossom, where an agricultural community was developed. Because of problems with water rights, transportation for produce, and internal dissension, the colony was discontinued in 1918. One group of the colonists went to Louisiana and reestablished a community under the name Newllano. Scope and Content The collection contains correspondence, documents, minutes, newspaper clippings, photographs, poetry, and printed materials pertaining to the Llano del Rio Colony and its successor, Newllano. Most of the items donated by Mellie Calvert (Box 1) pertain to the history of the Llano del Rio Colony and the experiences of its colonists. Some of this material looks at the influence Job Harriman and the Young People's Socialist League of California had upon the founding of Llano, while other items represent the lives and daily struggles of individual Llano members. The vast majority of the Knox Mellon addenda items (Boxes 2-4, plus two oversized items) pertain to Newllano and its various problems. Although the collection spans from 1896 to 1967, the greatest concentration of items were written in the 1930s, a turbulent time in Newllano's development. During the mid-1930s a power struggle arose in Newllano between its elected Board (headed by George T. Pickett, 1876-1959) and a band of individuals who attempted to revoke Pickett's leadership and declare a new Board. Letters and documents reflecting each side of the divide exist within the collection, although more of the materials reflect the pro-Pickett stance. Sidney Young authors many of Pickett's defenses and is a strong voice throughout the collection. Other Knox Mellon items reflect the pre-history of Llano, including copies of late nineteenth century letters penned by Job Harriman and Morris Hillquit (1869-1933). Subjects represented throughout the collection as a whole include the Llano and Newllano colonies, socialism in the United States, socialist societies, Job Harriman, Morris Hillquit (1869-1933), George T. Pickett (1876-1959) and Sidney Young. Llano del Rio Colony Records: mssLlano del Rio 2 Finding Aid Organization and Arrangement The collection is arranged in the following series: 1.

    -- A Political Guide for the Workers Socialist Party Campaign Book 1920 Prebared by the Department of Labor Research, Rand School of Social Science A. L. Trachtenberg, Director Published by The Socialist Party of the United States 220 South Ashland Boulevard CHICAGO, ILL. 1920 CoPYnIoAT 1940 BY Tm SOCIALIST PARTY OF TAE UNITED STATES CHICAGO, ILL. Printed in the U. S. A. 7 FOREWORD %F This little book is the joint work of a number of con- tributors, which has been compiled under the general editorship of Alexander Trachtenberg, Director of the Department of Labor Resewch of the Rand School of Social Science, and James Oneal, member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist party. Benjamin Glassberg of the Rand School also rendered valuable assistance in the editorial work. Among the contributors to the volume are Morris Hill- quit, David P. Berenberg, Evans Clark, Roger Baldwin, Solon DeLeon , Lewis Gannett, Benjamin Glassberg, Bertha Hale White, William Morris Feigenbaum, Alex- ander Trachtenberg, James Oneal and Irwin St. John Tucker. The book il the result of a request made by the Na- tional Executive Committee that the Research Depart- ment of the Rand School of Social Science co-operate in the preparation of material for it. The editorial committee believes that the book marks an advance over the bulky campaign books that have been prepared in the past, in that the material is much less in quantity, it is presented in a more popular style, statistics have been reduced to a minimum, while the information will prove of service to party speakers and editors and at the same time serve as a propaganda book among the workers.

Delgado, series, editor Phoebe Janes, issue editor AnnMarie Mitchell Morrison Library: Alex Warren Text formai and design: Mary Scott © 1997 UC Regents ISSN. 1079-2732 Published by: The-Doe Library University of California Berkeley, CA 94720-6000 APOCALYPSE NoIR: CAREY MCWILLIAMS AND POSTHISTORICAL CALIFORNIA PREFACE The goal of this series is to foster schol- arship on campus by providing new faculty members with the opportunity to share their research interest with their colleagues and students. We see the role of an academic li- brary not only as a place where bibliographic materials are acquired, stored, and made ac- cessible to the intellectual community, but also as an institution that is an active partici- pant in the generation of knowledge. New faculty members represent areas of scholarship the University wishes to develop or further strengthen. They are also among the best minds in their respective fields of specialization. The Morrison Library will pro- vide an environment where the latest research trends and research questions in these areas can be presented and discussed. Editorial Board In the 1860s Mark Twain wandered the Sierra foot- hills and marvelled at the ruins of the Gold Rush. In Cali- fornia history ran so fast that the past rotted overnight, mining communities decayed into ghost towns, lonely prospectors haunted the hills, and the entire country sug- gested "a living grave." Twain took the dead landscape for evidence of the failure of America's millennial fantasies, but he confessed a certain nostalgia for the "peerless man- hood" of the Fortyniners.

KEINARD PRICE, FIVE CENTS Published by the NEW YORK LABOR NEWS COMPANY ~6 New Reade St., New York City Entered at New York Post Office as Second Class Matter. WHAT IS CAPITAL? By FERDINAND LASSALLE. The Socialist proceeds upon the sci entific plan that nothing but confusion can lI'esult from discussion unless there is a rigid adherence to the proper use of Q;erms, and in the Organized Socialist Movement throughout the world the terms of Socialist Science are defined in as uniform a manner as language dif­ ferences permit. Inasmuch as the central ~emand of Socialism is that Capital be collectively owned, it is especially necessary for aD 'understanding of Socialis-ID that absolute clearness be had in the use of this term. In "What Is Capital7" Lassalle draws the distinction between wealth that is Capital and wealth that is not Capital. He first punctures several bourgeois definitions of Capital, then gives the characteristics of the principal industrial systems from Slavery through Feudalism to Capitali"m, and traces clearly the growbh or Capital from its €arliest historical appearance.

    Copyright 2014 Janine Giordano Drake BETWEEN RELIGION AND POLITICS: THE WORKING CLASS RELIGIOUS LEFT, 1880-1920 BY JANINE GIORDANO DRAKE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee Professor James Barrett, Chair Professor David Roediger Associate Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Associate Professor Jonathan Ebel ABSTRACT Between Religion and Politics: The Working Class Religious Left, 1880-1920 makes two main arguments: First, through an analysis of socialist print culture and party meeting minutes, it argues that Christianity animated socialist culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Moreover, wage earners within socialist circles, and especially the emerging Socialist Party of America, used these working class spaces as their alternative to a church. They preached and prayed together, and developed a socialist Christian theology of cooperation, personal sacrifice, and a future “Christian Commonwealth.” While the Socialist Party of America was by no means a Christian Socialist movement, it served as a welcome spiritual home for the many working class Christians who melded their socialist convictions with their faith. Christian, Jewish, and agnostic socialists worked together under the banner of the emerging Socialist Party of America. By 1912, the number of socialist Christians outside the churches was so great that the new Protestant denominational federation, the Federal Council of Churches, organized a series of nationwide campaigns to root out socialists from industrial workforces and draw politically neutral Christians into the churches. Second, the project revises our understanding of the rise of Social Christianity.

Remini Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher 1 Discovery and Settlement of the New World here are many intriguing mysteries surrounding the peo- T pling and discovery of the western hemisphere. Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.
