  • Legislators of California
    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

  • Myth of a Marty: David C. Broderick and the Making of an Anti-Slavery
    Myth of a Martyr David Broderick and the Making of an Anti-Slavery Hero UNDERGRADUATE WIENER OF THE JOSEPH MULLINS PRIZE IN HISTORY Gerald R. Morlidge “Citizens of California: A Senator lies dead in our midst. He is wrapped in a bloody shroud, and we to whom his toils and cares were given are about to bear him to the place appointed for all the living.”1 With these words, Colonel Edward D. Baker addressed the crowd who came to hear him speak in San Francisco on September 18, 1859. His speech was the final stage of a saga that climaxed several days before when a United States Senator was struck down in a duel against the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court. But the bullet that took David Broderick’s life also represented the moment in which a man became a myth. Baker’s words placed the memory of his friend into a greater context as not just a politician who served the people, but as a politician who belonged to the people. The imagery of Baker’s words was clear; Broderick’s body and memory now belonged to the people of California to carry forward. Almost immediately after his death from the wound he received, if not from the very moment that Chief Justice David Terry’s bullet entered his chest, the story of David Broderick evolved from a political disagreement into political mythology. While the chain of events that led to the fateful duel itself were widely reported by the local San Francisco press, deeper understanding of what Broderick stood for remained clouded, and a narrative was constructed in which the California Senator became an anti-slavery martyr.

Indiana THE J. K. GILL COMPANY PORTLAND. OREGON 1913 TO MY PARENTS -- PREFACE XT is rather a striking fact that with all that has been writ ten concerning the various phases of the history of the Oregon Country, so little attention has been given to its politi cal development, in the more restricted sense. The very be ginnings of American government in the far west were made in Oregon, yet, so far as an adequate and detailed relation is concerned, that thrilling and critical period of a quarter of a century following the setting up of the Provisional Govern ment in 1843, has been heretofore neglected. Early in this period Oregon was organized as a territory of the United States, the debate on the territorial bill giving rise to the enunciation by Calhoun of the partnership doctrine of the Southern Democracy, which led eventually to secession. Territorial organization was quickly followed by party organi zation on the basis of national political alignment. National issues were fought out in the far distant territory with the same passion and desperation that marked the struggle at the Nation's capital. Political capacity and leadership of a high order were developed in the field of frontier politics.
