Hachette et Cie., 1854 Issued as part of a long French series of lively travel books, “Bibliotheque des Chemins de Fer,” intended to be sold as light reading to train passengers. Because Auger was a sightseer in California and not involved in the scramble for gold, his account projects a more dispassionate view than most contemporary gold rush narratives. His description of a cockfight in Panama is highly unusual, and he devotes an entire chapter to , several of which he describes as an eyewitness. He regarded the religious revivals that he witnessed in the mining camps as a spectacle worthy of the Middle Ages. Cowan (II), p. 23; Howes A393; Kurutz 24; Norris 154; Rocq 15679.

Page 22 97. (Beverly Hills) Wagner, Rob. “We are Sitting on the Top of the World” - Leaflet. 1927 Charlie Chaplin’s Left-Wing Publicist in Beverly Hills. “We Are Sitting on the Top of the World”. 1 page leaflet/broadside, 5x9”. With original mailing envelope from “The Fairplay Institute”, Los Angeles. Postmarked Jan. 4, 1927. Addressed to Harry C. Frank, Delaware, Ohio. Beverly Hills: Beverly Hills Citizen, 1927 Apparently issued to accompany the Beverly Hills “float” that won First Prize in the of 1927 (8000 yellow and pink roses “massed in perfumed counterfeit of the Terrestrial sphere”). Wagner humorously describes “shaded drives and beautiful homes wherein shine all the brightest stars of Movieland”, with “two swimming pools to every bible”, but minus the “glue factories, lovely sewers, ridiculous building permits and other ‘advantages’” of the surrounding “adolescent village” of Los Angeles. Wagner, an ardent Socialist, was a former newspaper artist and Paris-trained portrait painter who settled in Los Angeles in 1909, taught high school classes to a young Frank Capra, wrote about the infant film industry for the Saturday Evening Post, and became the close friend and publicist of Charlie Chaplin, whom he introduced to leftist friends like Upton Sinclair. In 1929, Wagner founded his own literary magazine, “Script”, which pioneered intellectual film criticism and was often called the “West Coast New Yorker”, its contributors including Chaplin, Sinclair, Will Rogers, Edgar Rice Burroughs – and later Louis L’Amour and Ray Bradbury. A very rare ephemeral imprint. Very good. (100/150)

Stanford University Press, 1932 A scholar’s study of Chinese and Japanese lawbreakers in California and whether racial restrictions on the political rights of Asian residents made them an “anti-social…danger to their fellow men.” His conclusion: Apart from gambling and narcotic addiction among Chinese, most offenses were “minor” and, resulting from “lack of acquaintance” with American culture, made Asian immigrants no different from other new-comers to the US. Beach notes the particular absurdity of racist myths about the “gross immorality” and chronic alcoholism of Chinese; out of 65,000 arrests of Asians, only a few hundred were for either prostitution or drunkenness. Surprisingly, there is only one brief reference to the Chinese “Tongs”, so often mentioned in the tabloid press - of which, Beach notes, there was as yet no truly “trustworthy description.” Wrapper edges a bit yellowed, a few tiny chips to spine; very good.

The reservoir and related facilities were purchased in November 1918 by the Denver Water Board. Cheesman was the first reservoir of Denver’s mountain storage facilities and has been designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. The pictures include one with nine men in a boat and another with eight of them standing in a row - one of the men is undoubtedly Cheesman. Other photographs include the recently-completed dam and the reservoir itself. Walter Scott Cheesman ( 1838-1907) was a banker, entrepreneur, railroad and water tycoon, and one of the leaders in the fight for Colorado statehood. Cheesman Canyon, Cheesman Dam, Cheesman Lake, and Cheesman Park were all named for him. He was the person most responsible for the early-day consolidation and expansion of Denver Water’s system, as the head of four water supply companies between 1872 and 1907. Fine or nearly so.

Page 42 178. (Fresno Japanese Family) Cabinet Photograph of Japanese family in Fresno - 1920. Photograph, 7½x9¼ inches in 11¾x13¾” mat, of a Japanese family – six men and two women of an older and younger generation Fresno, California: F.U.K. Studio, [c.1920] The small, tight-knit Japanese-American population of Fresno County tripled in the first decades of the 20th century as the “aliens” established farms, vineyards and orchards throughout California’s Central Valley. By 1920, near a Santa Fe Railroad stop south of the city of Fresno, an all-Japanese agricultural community of 100 families farmed 3500 acres, with grape vines and fruit trees surrounding their Buddhist Church and community center. Entire families lived and worked together to operate their farms.

The company was still struggling in 1852 when he had to face this issue of whether to insure the life of a young man who had caught the California fever. 1849-1852 Very good. (100/150)

A heavily armed guard of thirty stalwart citizens was headed in person by Mr. King, and the transfer was effected. This induced some approbation, but provoked much more ridicule…At this time, San Francisco was filled with probably the most desperate band of thieves and robbers that ever infested any civilized community.” He writes about the Indian hostilities in 1851 and the problems it caused regarding monies. “The Indian Commissioners had no money to move troops. The State Treasury was empty...unless these hostilities were suppressed immediately the war would become general, not only in California, but extend into Oregon.” Cowan, p. 329; Rocq 10072.

Page 55 243. (Map - Monterey County - Point Lobos) Cozzens, Howard F. & William Davies. Map of Point Lobos Proposed California State Park, a part of Rancho San José y Sur Chiquito in Monterey County, Cal. Reduced photostatic copy of the original map, with typed paper label affixed to lower left portion (over the ocean). 20x27.5 cm. (8x14¾”). [Monterey? Calif.]: 1932 [or later] Map of the various divisions of Point Lobos as it was being cobbled together into what is today the Point Lobos State Nature Reserve. This is a contemporary, reduced photocopy of the map; OCLC/WorldCat lists three copies of the full-sized map (42x50 cm. ), noting them as “hand col. photocopy..” The typed label is a key to the various portions of the tract, giving the costs of the acquisitions. The origin of the park rests in the unique nature of its flora. As scientists and foresters studied the Monterey Cypress trees growing at Point Lobos and at Cypress Point on the north side of Carmel Bay, they realized these trees do not grow naturally anywhere else in the world. By the mid-1920’s, the Save-the-Redwoods League was actively involved in an effort to preserve the Monterey cypress. They hired the internationally known landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmstead, to research Point Lobos and report on the areas most noteworthy of preservation. Olmstead’s report described Point Lobos as “the most outstanding example on the coast of California of picturesque rock and surf scenery in combination withy unique vegetation, including typical Monterey Cypress.” With assistance from the Save-the-Redwoods League, the State of California purchased 348 acres at Point Lobos from the Allan family in 1933 (Parcels No. 2 + Parcel No. 4 on the map). Another 15 acres (Parcel No. 1 on the map ) of cypress-covered headlands were given to the state by the Allan family and dedicated as a memorial to Alexander and Satie Allan. Further land additions have expanded the reserve to almost 400 acres now open to the public. In 1960, 750 underwater acres were added to create the first marine reserve in the United States. The marine reserve was designated an ecological reserve in 1973, and in 1992 became part of the Monterey Bay National Marine sanctuary, the nation’s largest marine sanctuary. A few neat repairs and some discoloration; good to very good, a rare item. (500/800)

During his junior year, Matson’s USF team was decent, going 7-4, but the following year, the team was undefeated at 9-0, but failed to get invited to a bowl team. It was later reported that the Orange, Sugar and Gator Bowls - all in the American South - did not consider inviting any teams that had black players, and the USF players refused to play without their two African-American teammates, Matson and Burl Toler. Nine players from the 1951 U.S.F. Dons made it to the N.F.L., and three of the — Gino Marchetti, Bob St. Clair and Matson — were eventually inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Its head coach was Joe Kuharich, who went on to coach at Notre Dame and for three professional teams; and the athletic publicity director was Pete Rozelle, who became the N.F.L. commissioner. Matson is in five pictures in the yearbook, including a featured picture of him tying is shoelaces. Toler who became the first black on-field official in the National Football League, is also given a featured picture. The University of San Francisco and USF Athletics welcomed members of the celebrated 1951 Dons Football Team back to the Hilltop Saturday, October 8 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of one of the most legendary teams in college football history.

Its scenery both in variety and picturesqueness far exceeds anything on the river.” An early Pacific Northwest work well deserving greater notice.

(7½x5”), brown cloth, lettered in gilt. First Edition. Jacksboro, TX: J.S. Rogers & Co., 1889 Important reminiscences of the Texas frontier in the years following the Civil War. Jenkins states that “This is the most lively and authentic account of cavalry life in West Texas after the Civil War. McConnell was a private in the 6th Cavalry who arrived in Galveston with the Reconstruction occupiers in November,1866. He served at Fort Belknap and Fort Richardson on the Texas frontier until 1871,then settled at Jacksboro. Throughout his service, he kept a journal from which he frequently quotes verbatim. During this period he also issued a post newspaper, ‘The Flea,’ from which he also quotes liberally. McConnell gives us the best surviving account of what it was like to be an ordinary cavalryman in occupied Texas as well as of life on the frontier outposts after the war. He does not at all glorify his officers or fellow soldiers; he reports on their heavy drinking, their general disorganization, their boredom, their thievery -- neither with moral judgments nor rationalization. McConnell’s acute insights into human nature appear repeatedly...” Adams Six-guns 1393; Adams Herd 1380; Dobie p.52; Graff 2579; Howes M59; Jenkins 131; Rader 2280; Raines p.142.

Page 61 270. (Mining) Skyrme, William. Typed letter, signed to prominent California entrepreneur . 2 pp. To A[sbury] Harpending Esq. in New York. Chaparral South America: April 1, 1884 After three months of “thoroughly prospecting” a gold mine in the mountains of Colombia, Skyrme assures Harpending, its owner, that it was “one of the richest gravel mines I have ever seen. It is a Bonanza Mine and will go into the millions…It contains gold in paying quantities from surface to bed rock…The gold is heavy, bright and well worn, will be easily saved..The climate is healthy and the mine can run every day in the year…” He adds considerable detail about water could be brought in for hydraulic mining. The recipient of this glowing report was a prominent California entrepreneur, well-known for his 1913 autobiography, published in San Francisco, The Great Hoax and Other Stirring Incidents in the Life of Asbury Harpending, which details the spectacular 1872 fraud which was prelude to the financial ruin of banker William Ralston. Harpending’s memoir of how he became a multi-millionaire ends with the collapse of the “diamond bubble”, after which he decided to leave California for Wall Street. But he adds a few pages of sequel about the venture described in this letter – when “money- making intoxication” moved him to sink all his wealth into Colombian mining, including the “fabulous” gold mine hailed by Skyrme, which promised “inexhaustible” gold – until water brought in by a 23-mile long ditch collapsed the mountain above the mine and “millions of tons slid down”, burying the mine forever. “My fortune”, Harpending wrote in his book 30 years later, “was not lost. It is still intact, buried in the mountains” of Colombia. “I have no doubt that some adventurous speculator of the future, under happier conditions, will dig it out.” A few tiny holes and small tears to pages, much light soiling; very good.

SUNDANCE KID ROBS A TRAIN 293. (Nevada) Nevada Reward Poster for a Train Robbery by the Sundance Kid and Kid Curry. Broadside. Trimmed to 41x24.5 cm (16x9½”). San Francisco: July 14, 1898 Reward poster issued by Southern Pacific Rail Road and Wells, Fargo & Company offering a total reward of $1,000 “for the arrest and conviction of each of the parties connected with” the robbery of Southern Pacific Train No. 1 near Humboldt, Nevada in the early hours of July 14, 1898. Though not known at the time, the robbery has since been credited to Wild Bunch members Kid Curry (Harvey Logan), “Flat-Nose” George Curry and the Sundance Kid (Harry Longabaugh). Apparently the Sundance Kid and Kid Curry boarded the train in Humboldt and shortly after the train pulled away from the station they made their way to engine and ordered the engineers to stop a mile or so east of town where their accomplice awaited them with their horses. The pair blew the safe, demolishing the express car in the process, making off with $450 and some jewelry. A fabulous wild west broadside. Trimmed, light wear; very good.

Page 74 time. Four major routes were surveyed, from a northern route terminating at the mouth of the Columbia River to a southern route running through Texas to San Diego. Superbly illustrated with color lithographs of the countryside and native peoples of the regions explored, and with numerous maps detailing areas never before surveyed.

Ives, W.H. Emory, and Spen- cer F. Baird. The important series of lithographic views of the West, from drawings by Richard and Edward Kern, Tom Mix Stanley, Charles Koppel and others, presented to the world some of the first depictions of previously unexplored regions of the West, and some of its newly

settled regions. Wagner-Camp notes, “Despite their flaws, these volumes contain a monumental collection of scientific information, geographical, zoological, botanical, geological, of the still mysterious American West. Upon first examination, the volumes seem forbiddingly disorga- nized.. however these faults are amply compensated by the richness of the material within.” Howes P3; Wagner-Camp 262-267. The present set was specially bound for the Engineering Department of the United States War Department and, as evidenced by small rubberstamp markings on the title pages, was presumably presented to the Library of the Imperial and Royal Military Technical Committee of the Austro-Hungarian Army (Bibliotek Des K.u.K Tech- nischen Militarkomitee).

MANUSCRIPT PLAT MAP OF SUTTER’S NEW HELVETIA RANCHO, 1859 356. (Sacramento County) Plat of the New Helvetia Rancho finally confirmed to John A. Sutter Surveyed under instructions from the Surveyor General by A.W. Von Schmidt Deputy Surveyor September and October 1859... Pen-and-ink and watercolor manuscript on tracing linen. 128x41 cm. (50½x16”) [Sacramento]: 1859 Original manuscript plat map of John A. Sutter’s fabled rancho on the Feather River, covering nearly 50,000 acres. The survey was made as part of the U.S. Government’s legal challenge to the validity of Sutter’s claim. There are four manuscript examples of this plat listed in OCLC/WorldCat (at the Institute of Government Studies, at Krokick, Moskovits, Tiedmann & Girard, and two at the University of California, Berkeley). The present example seems to be an earlier version than those four copies - they additionally credit E.H. Dyer, Depy. Survr. and contain notes through 1863, and are wider (3 are 70 cm. wide, the duplicate at UC 61 cm. wide, with tables of boundaries, acreages, and connecting lines not in the present version). The present plat came out of the files of B.F. Leete, a surveyor who came to California in 1858 and was employed for a time by Theodore Judah, early advocate of the intercontinental railroad, before venturing on to Nevada and establishing the Eagle Salt Works. It is not known if this example is a copy made by Leete in the course of his work for Judah, or made by Von Schmidt - it would certainly date from before 1862, when Leete seems to have left Sacramento permanently. Von Schmidt, a surveyor trained in his native Prussia, came to California in 1849, working as a surveyor, mapping public lands and Spanish land grants throughout the state, becoming a controversial figure in the California and Nevada’s water wars. A number of stains and spots, with some discoloration, still very good. (3000/5000) Lot 356 357.

The subscription blank lists options for payment plans. Together, 3 items. 26.5x18 cm. (10½x7”) or smaller. Stanford University: 1921 Rare ephemera for Stanford’s football stadium and the annual Big Game between Stanford and the arch-rival University of California.The letter opens with the conjecture that “the necessity for a larger football field at Stanford has for a long time been apparent,” most notably to alleviate the “difficulty in the past in securing admission to the big game between Stanford and California.” By placing a subscription of $100 towards the $200,000 cost of construction, one would have the right to purchase two of the best seats for the annual game for fifteen years, whether the game is played at Stanford or in Berkeley. The seats themselves would cost $4 apiece. The new stadium at Stanford opened in November of 1921, two years before the larger stadium build by rival Berkeley. No copies are listed in OCLC/WorldCat.

Printed certificate, with vignettes of the mountainous locale of the mine and a Native American. Signed by Leland Stanford as President and Newton Booth as Secretary. 13.5x23 cm. (5¼x9”). Sacramento: 1863 Stock Certificate for the Gov. Stanford Gold and Silver Mining Company, issued in Sacramento, with mines in the Esmerelda mining district in Western Nevada. The certificate, issued for ten shares of stock and bearing a pen canceled U.S. Revenue stamp, was printed by H.S. Crocker & Co. in Sacramento and was issued to S, Tryon on June 9, 1863. The company was incorporated, April 10, 1863 with capital stock of $300,000. Sylvester Tryon, a personal friend of Leland Stanford, came across the plains in 1850 and was well known as the prime mover in the manufacture of woolen goods in Sacramento and owner of the Capitol Woolen Mills. During the Civil War he was appointed the enrolling officer for Sacramento by President Lincoln. The certificate is signed by Leland Stanford of “Big Four” fame and founder of Stanford University, as mining company president and Lot 432 also by Newton Booth as secretary. Newton Booth (1825-1892) came to California in 1850 and became a merchant grocer, founding Booth & Co. In 1863 he became a State Senator and in 1871 . While Governor, he was elected a U.S. Senator and held both offices simultaneously, until resigning the Governorship in 1871, prompting an attempt to change the state constitution to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. Booth, considered one of the great public speakers, died of cancer of the tongue. While unissued but signed certificates for Stanford’s Bodie Bluff Consolidated Mine appear on the market and can fetch up to $2000, we can find no reference to this mine, nor can we find where this certificate has ever sold at auction. Rare and important. Very good condition, with old folds, and a slight nick to the upper right corner. (3000/5000)

Kellogg Newspaper Co.], [1897] One day in 1896, Colonel John Hallum, a sixty-three year old Confederate veteran, did his dead-level best to kill an unarmed Baptist preacher. Hallum shot the preacher four times at a busy train station in Texarkana, Texas, in front of God knows how many witnesses, and then left him there for dead. But the preacher, Reverend Forbes, with or without divine assistance, simply refused to expire. So they tried John Hallum for ‘attempted murder.’ “ (Neal, Getting Away with Murder on the Texas Frontier [2006], page 230.) The Reverend was carrying on an affair with Mrs. Hallum; both the Colonel and his Missus were his parishioners. _ Publication of this piece was allegedly against Hallum’s wishes, but a relative, Miss Kant Hallum, explains that “the bigoted religionist is yet plying his vocation of slandering him”, despite his “destruction of an ideal home.”She also says that Hallum’s “address to the jury certainly belongs to the higher classes of forensic literature.” Hallum relied on the unwritten law of Texas: if you fool around with another man’s wife, you do so at your peril. Hallum’s forensic triumph is preserved here. “My manhood scorns any evasion or equivocation to avoid the responsibility attaching to my earnest attempt to kill the miscreant who entered my home under the sanction of friendship and religion...to become the author of its ruin and desolation.” Wrappers chipped and soiled, text leaves toned; very good.

Page 118 OIL PAINTING OF SAN FRACISCO CITY HALL IN RUINS AFTER THE 1906 EARTHQUAKE 490. Wright, Corinne King (1868-1952). in Ruins, 1907 - Oil on canvas. 14½x21” oil on canvas, in original 25x32½” oak Arts & Crafts style frame showing a vertical moonlight scene of the San Francisco City hall in ruins after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Signed, lower right “Corinne King Wright, 1907”, with original paper gallery label mounted on reverse, of The Merrick Reynolds Co. Los Angeles, CA. and the ink annotation of Corinne Wright, with her San Gabriel, CA address. 1907 The scene is an eery evening scene of the City Hall ruins, with a brilliant moon illuminating the dome, reminiscent of Wright’s California Mission paintings often seen “under the softening influence of twilight or moonlight”. Oil paintings of cityscapes are desirable and this one is beautifully done, and an exceptional San Francisco image. Wright grew up in San Bernardino and became a student of early Spanish California history, publishing a novel on this subject in 1932. Aside from her writing Mrs. Wright was equally adept with the brush, and many of her paintings have hung in exhibitions throughout California. As a portrait painter, she is in the front rank of portrait artists of the West. She was born on a Southern plantation in Georgia and brought to California in infancy settling in San Bernardino, where her father bought land at Eighth and E Streets where the Mormons had laid out a beautiful town site, but had abandoned it and returned to Salt Lake City some years previously. It was to beautify this home that the first Eucalyptus tree was imported from Australia into California about 1872. Wright graduated with a Bachelor and Masters degrees from USC, and resided with her husband William Henry Wright Lot 490 at their family home, “La Solana” in San Gabriel. Very good condition.
