We lived on Ell18 Street, between dough and Octtavia. It was a new street, and we faced a reeky hill- side of about four blooks, not graded nor built on until long after we left 8an fianalsao, Gilbt You were telling me that you spoke Freneh before you spoke English. How did that come about? Bartlett: My mother was Louiee b1, born on Staten Island, New York, in 1841, In '49 my grandfather John Me1 decided to come to California, Ee had cousins around Bordeaux, Prrance, and his oldest Ban, Lou18 Mel, was sent there in 1850 and remained in ban08 until 1858, as his father98 correspondent, He returned to California Pn 1878. My grandfather left Hew York for California in 149 via Panama, and there he had the $Panama' fever. That laid him up for three month8 or so, and he arrived in California too late to be a California pioneer. In the beginning he kept a store in one of the abandoned sail boats that Bartlett: was stuck in the mud on the San Francisco beaeh, Quite a number of boata that came to San Francisco never went back. They were relatively small, and for a number of years houaed the stores and the homes of the pioneers. When my grandfather came to California, he sent his family to Prance where hia siaters lived. They remained there until 158 or 59, when they sailed to Califo~niafrom Bordeaux around the Horn. They lived in San Franciaoo, My mother, one of the younger members of the family, was married in '68, and ahe and my father began a family right may, Gilb: There were ten children in your family, didaft you say? Bartlett: Yea, my oldest aiste~was born in '70, and the reat of us arrived at two ye- intervals, Gilb : What was your father's family like? Where did they come from? Baptlettt My father's ancestors came from England -- mieaed the first boat - the Mayflower -- but caught the Bartletts aecond, They arrived in Massachuaetta, and fmaa there, in the cotarse of a few generations, went north to few Rampahire. The earlierst member of the famfly I can recall was Joslah Rartlett, a signer of the Derrlaratian of Independenee. Somtimea I think he was the only man living in Bew Hampshire, beuause he was a doctor, a lawyer, a college president, GOV~P~OF of the state, and Chief Justice. f don't bow exactly how these jobs fitted in with each othr, but apparently he was the mst important man in Hew Hampehire during the period of the Amriaan Revolution, My direct ancestor was his brother, Stephen, He was born and lived in Hew Hampahire. And his descendent8 went down south, taking it in gradual ateps: my f atbr waer born in ColWha Georgia, Itve never known whather he was named after the town or tha Diaeaverer, but Us name was Columbus Bartlett. Shortly thereafter, my grandfather went .to Florida, At that time it wae a new country bought from Francs.

An offiee in those clay1 was a place where you kept everything that you had, As he was warking, these men came in and announced they would take him out and hang him, "well," he safd as he pulled out a mtah and lit it, to his little keg daun here at my feet BIB gun- powderl ff you don't get out of here, I'll drop thfs match and we'll all go to hell togetherem They beat it, (Laughter) That's the only atory I Bartlett: recalled when a member of a Florida hietorital society wrote me for data about hila h om 30 yews ago.

The present Checklist covers the reports published in the Appendices to the Journals from 1850 to 1970. The Checklist is arranged by volume. The Appendices include reports produced by California executive agencies as well as the California Legislature. In a few instances, the reports include work by the United States federal government or the University of California. Each entry gives the volume number for the report in one of two formats: 1909(38th)(1) This first example indicates Appendix to the 1909 Journals, Volume 1, 38th session.

  • Systems of California Indian Servitude Under US Rule
    ‘‘Unholy Traffic in Human Blood and Souls’’: Systems of California Indian Servitude under U.S. Rule BENJAMIN MADLEY The author teaches in the history department and American Indian Studies Program at the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1846 onward, at least 20,000 California Indians worked in varied forms of bondage under U.S. rule. This essay provides the first article-length survey of the statewide rise and fall of California’s systems of Indian servitude under U.S. rule, including their Russo-Hispanic antecedents, establishment under martial law, expansion under civilian rule, and dismantling by state and federal authorities. Further, this article proposes the first taxonomy of these systems and, in conclusion, discusses how California Indian servitude illuminates the histories of California, the western United States, the nation as a whole, and the western hemisphere while suggesting new analytical methods and research directions. Key words: American Indian labor, American Indian slavery, California Indians, California legal history, indentured servitude, unfree labor The author thanks Stephen Aron, Colin Calloway, Boyd Cothran, Robin Derby, Bruce Duthu, John Faragher, Daniel Lynch, Timothy Macholz, William Marotti, Valerie Mat- sumoto, Preston McBride, Edward Melillo, Aaron O’Connell, Carla Pestana, Jesse Philips, Arthur Rolston, Peter Stacey, Kevin Terraciano, Owen Williams, Craig Yirush, Judy Yung, Natale Zappia, and the Pacific Historical Review’s editors and anonymous reviewers.

As such, United States' history was largely the study of Americans' westward advance, and became the supposed critical factor in their political and social development. In reference to

  • The Greening of Paradise Valley
    The Greening of Paradise Valley The first 100 years (1887-1987) of the Modesto Irrigation District By Dwight H. Barnes Commissioned by the Modesto Irrigation District In recognition of its centennial year Dedication In the span of recorded history, the story of the San Joaquin Valley and that portion of it served by the Modesto Irrigation District is quite brief. The impact of a region upon a nation, however, cannot be measured by time alone. Settled by adventurous, innovative, courageous people who had the vision and determination to change a huge valley which was desert waste in the summer and whose flood-swollen rivers ran 10 miles wide in the spring, the San Joaquin Valley today is the nation’s most productive agricultural region. This was the home of people such as Irwin S. Wright, who in 1868 invented jerk-line control of long pulling teams; of Benjamin Holt, inventor of the Caterpillar tractor who subsequently made possible the first army tanks; of George Stockton Berry, who, starting with a discarded portable steam engine, built the first mechanically-driven combine to harvest, thresh and sack wheat in a single operation, and of political and military leaders such as John C. Fremont, the first presidential nominee of the Republican Party, and famed General William Tecumseh Sherman. It was in this region that the farm cooperative received its greatest stimulus, resulting in the development of the world’s largest cooperatives such as the Milk Producers Association of California and Tri/Valley Growers, both of which were founded in Modesto. More than a century ago, enterprising leaders of this caliber envisioned the rich potential of the region’s agriculture; needed was a practical means of bringing water to the land throughout the summer months.

Reminiscences and incidents of "the early days" of San Francisco by John H. Brown; actual experience of an eye-witness, from 1845 to 1850 http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.157 September 28 th, 1885. Mr. J. H. Brown, My Dear Sir: I saw in the Call of the 20 th inst., with much surprise and pleasure, that you were still in the scene of our early acquaintance and still well and vigorous. Also, that you contemplated putting your early adventures into print. I trust you will not forget to send me a copy, and that you will include the ludicrous incidents of the fall and winter of 1846 in the old City Hotel. If I were nearer than three thousand miles I might assist your recollection of those old times. I am the New York correspondent of the Call and Bulletin, the special telegraphic news daily sent to those papers is my contribution to the press of our whilom ‘‘Yerba Buena.’’ There is enough material extant relating to the days of '46 to make a good sized and very readable book.
