Photographs and typographical ephemera transferred to Pictorial Collections of The Bancroft Library Identifier/Call Number: (BANC PIC 1944.003-.005) Biography John Henry Nash was born in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada on March 12, 1871. He left high school at the age of sixteen and became an apprentice in the shop of James Murray, one of the leading printers in Toronto. He worked as a compositor for several years in Toronto and for a few months in Denver before moving to San Francisco in 1895 where he found employment with the Hicks-Judd Company. Several years later he and Bruce Brough established the Twentieth Century Press which became the Tomoyé Press when Paul Elder became a partner. In 1911 he formed a partnership with Henry H. and Edward Dewitt Taylor which lasted until 1915. Following a brief association with the Blair-Murdock Company, he opened his own shop. For the next 22 years he produced books, pamphlets, broadsides and job printing which embodied the technical perfection he demanded. Vital patronage came mainly from William Andrews Clark, Jr. who commissioned him to print catalogues of his extensive library as well as Christmas books for distribution to friends. William Randolph Hearst chose him to publish a biography of his mother which appeared in 1928 and one of his father in 1933. Continuous support also came from bibliographic organizations such as the Grolier Club of New York City and the Book Club of California and from numerous individual clients. Most of his other publications were intended as gifts for friends and clients. His most ambitious publication and one of the few printed for direct sale was The Comedy of Dante Alighieri which appeared in 1929. Nash retired in 1938, moved his library and shop to the University of Oregon at Eugene, and accepted a temporary appointment as Professor of Typography. He supervised the design and composition of books selected by students to be printed by the John Henry Nash Fine Arts Press. In 1943 he returned to Berkeley where he died four years later. Scope and Content His papers were a gift to the University of California in 1944 from the Milton S. Ray family and were transferred to The Bancroft Library from the General Library's Rare Books and Special collections Department in 1970. Consisting of correspondence; manuscripts; printer's copy and proofs of some of his publications; personalia; scrapbooks and guest books, they document his career as a printer. Photographs and typographical ephemera have been removed to the Library's Pictorial and Typography Collections respectively.

So wrote Phoebe Apperson Hearst from Cairo in a thirty- two page letter dated February ioth, 1905, ad­ dressed to Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California. And thus she pro­ posed to end an association which had begun in 1891 when she offered to contribute funds to be used for scholarships for women students and continued in 1897 when she was appointed to the Board to fill the unexpired term of Regent Charles F. Crocker. Her reasons were several—her ill health which would force her to live abroad for a number of years, returning to California only during the summer months, and her convic­ tion that it was not right to hold the office when she could not attend more than three meetings a year. Someone should be appointed who can do Phoebe Apperson at the time of her marriage to the work required. I feel as deep an interest George Hearst. in the University as ever, and this is why I feel I should no longer hold the office. his files were destroyed by the Berkeley fire of This interesting, hitherto unknown letter 1923.

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.

  • Item 5.2 Naming of New City Parks
    ITEM 5. 2 CITY STAFF REPORT UNE 8, 2020 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING ITEM: NAMING OF NEW CITY PARKS RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution to name the Neighborhood Park in Mossdale after William S. Moss and the Neighborhood Park in Stanford Crossing in Honor of Leland and 7ane Stanford and Related Budget Amendment SUMMARY: On March 5, 2020 the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend Council approve the proposed naming of two of the city' s newest neighborhood Parks. Staff requests that the City Council adopt a resolution to name the neighborhood park within the Mossdale development as William S. Moss Park, and the neighborhood park within the Stanford Crossing Development as Leland and Jane Stanford Park. BACKGROUND: The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting the City Council review and consider the Park and Facility Naming Applications to name two new parks within the City of Lathrop. Mossdale Neighborhood Park Mossdale Neighborhood Park is an approximately 4. 15 acre park site located on the corner of Inland Passage Way and Golden Spike Trail. The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to name this park location after William S. Moss. William Moss, originally a river boat captain from Ohio, arrived in California in the 1850' s as part of the Gold Rush. He arrived in San Francisco and crossed the San Joaquin River on a ferry here in Lathrop. Recognizing the river ferry as a potentially lucrative business venture, he negotiated with the owners and purchased the river ferry. Following the purchase, he renamed the ferry to Moss' Ferry. This purchase was so successful for Mr.

  • Company Store: the Hearst Mercantile, 1879-1942
    Copyright © 1990 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Company Store: The Hearst Mercantile, 1879-1942 STEVEN R. KINSELLA In 1877, one year after George A. Custer was defeated on the bluffs above the Little Bighorn River, George Hearst, a mining venturer from San Francisco, traveled to the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. Tall and lanky, with a chest-long beard, the man literally had the ability to smell out gold and silver deposits, or so his fellow miners and speculators whispered. He was making this trip, however, because he had not always relied on those well-known instincts. Trusting the advice of others several years before, he had lost near- ly his entire fortune and been forced to sell even his wife's carriage and horses. This time he would be shrewder with his investments, checking them out himself.' With Custer's reports of gold in 1874, the Black Hills had come alive with panners and sluice boxes. In 1876, an associate had ex- citedly wired Hearst about a mine high in a gorge. A year later when Hearst reached the small mine that had been chiseled into a wall of quartzite and supported by roughly cut timbers, the sight inter- ested him so much that he immediately made arrangements to pur- chase the claim for himself and his partners.^ The mine became known as the Homestake, and, due greatly to its success, George 1.
