"A book that every American should read, * * written in such an inform- ing and animated style that it is as interesting as a romance."— .Vew' York. Sun. "To Mr. Smythe irrigation is almost a religion. As the ancients worshiped the sun as the source of all light and power, so Mr. Smythe might well become the leader of a cult in the arid regions to worship water as the source of all fruitfulness there. This book is our most important work on a subject which is of increased and ever increasing interest."^ Boston Transcript.

"Mr. Smythe is that ever-successful, but rare being, a man who is absolute master of his subject."—Richard Henry Stoddard in \e\v York Mail and Express. "Far more fascinating than any account of the conquest of Mexico or Peru is Mr. of Smythe's account the conquest of arid America by irrigation ; far more interesting than any story of travel or adventure towards the pole or in the tropics is his story of the miracle accomplished in our land in regions which our ignorance described as deserts." \ew York World. "The man or woman who fails to read the 'Conquest of Arid America' will miss the greatest blessing ever offered them." — William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill"). "The value of the book is unquestionable." — .Vew York Evening Post. "Mr. Smythe is a patriot of the right sort. He sees his country with loving eyes He has faith in her future."—.Vevr York Independent. "A book of unusual significance and great interest." Cincinnati Times-Star.

    -::, » . .• f Grants of Land in California Made by Spanish or Mexican Authorities Prepared by the Staff of the State Lands Commission ----- -- -·- PREFACE This report was prepared by Cris Perez under direction of Lou Shafer. There were three main reasons for its preparation. First, it provides a convenient reference to patent data used by staff Boundary Officers and others who may find the information helpful. Secondly, this report provides a background for newer members who may be unfamiliar with Spanish and Mexican land grants and the general circumstances surrounding the transfer of land from Mexican to American dominion. Lastly, it provides sources for additional reading for those who may wish to study further. The report has not been reviewed by the Executive Staff of the Commission and has not been approved by the State Lands Commission.

To be sure, his success against the latter had been far from noteworthy; both in the missions and in the native habitat the aboriginal population'had declined, and the Indian had been forced to give ground politically and racially before the advance of Spanish colonization.

    General Edward Fitzgerald Beale From a Woodcut Edward Fitzgerald Beale A Pioneer in the Path of Empire 1822-1903 By Stephen Bonsai With 17 Illustrations G. P. Putnam's Sons New York and London Ube ftnicfterbocfter press 1912 r6n5 Copyright, iqi2 BY TRUXTUN BEALE Ube finickerbocher pteee, 'Mew ]|?ocft £CI.A;n41 4S INTRODUCTORY NOTE EDWARD FITZGERALD BEALE, whose life is outlined in the following pages, was a remarkable man of a type we shall never see in America again. A grandson of the gallant Truxtun, Beale was bom in the Navy and his early life was passed at sea. However, he fought with the army at San Pasqual and when night fell upon that indecisive battlefield, with Kit Carson and an anonymous Indian, by a daring journey through a hostile country, he brought to Commodore Stockton in San Diego, the news of General Kearny's desperate situation. Beale brought the first gold East, and was truly, in those stirring days, what his friend and fellow- traveller Bayard Taylor called him, "a pioneer in the path of empire." Resigning from the Navy, Beale explored the desert trails and the moimtain passes which led overland to the Pacific, and later he surveyed the routes and built the wagon roads over which the mighty migration passed to people the new world beyond the Rockies. As Superintendent of the Indians, a thankless office which he filled for three years, Beale initiated a policy of honest dealing with the nation's wards iv Introductory Note which would have been even more successful than it was had cordial unfaltering support always been forthcoming from Washington.

  • SHPO/External Stakeholder) Ser 00/054 and Response by the Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation
    Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation P.O. Box 23130 San Diego, CA 92193 Captain S.F. Adams Commanding Officer Department of the Navy Naval Base Point Loma 140 Sylvester Road San Diego, CA 92106-3521 May 1, 2012 Subject: Attachment to the Question (SHPO/External Stakeholder) Ser 00/054 and Response by the Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your questionnaire sent February 7, 2012. Given the problems associated with eviction from Naval Base Point Loma between verbal notification on November 10, 2012 and removal of our private property by December 31, 2012, we could not meet your February 17, 2012 deadline. The following are our responses to your questions. Does the installation communicate with stakeholders as required? Response: Naval Base Point Loma terminated its best line of communication with public stakeholders concerned with cultural resources. From 1996 through 2011 The US Navy and the Ft Guijarros Museum Foundation held a Cultural Resource Agreement in compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Termination of the agreement also eliminated access to the historical and archaeological records owned by the Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation and formerly housed in Building 127 at the Naval Base Pont Loma. Elimination also terminated review of the archaeological records for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and any stakeholder evaluation of construction impacts to National Register eligible properties on Naval Base Point Loma. Since reorganization to Navy Region Southwest in 1999 and recent combining of the formerly independent Environmental Office into Naval Facilities Engineering Command, communication with stakeholders dropped to an all time low.

LOS ANGELES: YARNELL, CAYSTILE & MATHES, PRINTERS. 1881. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1881, by HORACE BELL, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. TO THE FEW Reminiscences of a ranger; or, Early times in southern California. By Major Horace Bell http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.103 SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE LOS ANGELES RANGERS, AND TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE ANSWERED TO THE LAST ROLL-CALL, THIS HUMBLE TRIBUTE IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated.
