A FEW WORDS OF EXPLANATION.
WE have ne pleasure of presenting to our patrons one of the largest au , most elegant County Histories yet issued on this Coast. Not only ample in the number and beauty of its illustrations, and quality of paper and binding, but also in the extent and accuracy of its historical matter. We hope our efforts to represent the important features of this county may Icad its inhabitants to understand and appreciate more fully its varied resources. We hope we have furnished information to the traveler, the tourist, or the emigrant who is seeking a location.
-
The book is fully illustrated, as may be seen at a glance, with views of many of the principal residences, mills and business houses of the county. Portraits of many of the pio- neers appear, as well as of county officers and prominent citi- zens.
We are especially indebted to the following citizens for information, or for articles of value for this history which we have incorporated in the work, or given credit therefor: Hon. J. Clark. E. H. Howard, Wm. Ayers, W. F. Huestis, W. H. Wyman, J. S. Thomson, L. T. Kinscy, G. H. Shaw, J. B. Cas- terlin, Jackson Sawyer, Richard Johnson, W. P. Daykin, etc.
We have been in many cases unable to give proper credit for articles found floating about, or sent to us, and bave there- fore transferred them boldly to these columns. All history is inade up from the statements and records of otbers. There can be uo originality in the facts of history. This work con- tains a complete political history of the county, embraced under the following twenty general divisions, which are sub- divided, as shown in the table of contents :-
1. First Discoveries by Land and Sea about Humboldt Bay.
2. Settlements made by the Gold Hunters.
3. Organization of the County Government.
4. Klamath County Formed and Disorganized.
5. Geographical Features of Country and its Soil.
6. Humboldt Bay and Harbor Described.
7. Resources and Industries of the County.
8. Redwood Forests and Lumber Business.
9. Manufacturing Interests of the County.
10. Rapid Increase in Population and Wealtb.
11. Klamath, Gold Bluff and Trinity Mines. 12. Indian Difficulties, Wars, Treaties, and Reservations.
13. Descriptions of Towns and Villages.
14. Lives of Pioneer Settlers of this Region.
15. History of the Churches of the County. 16. List of Secret, Benevolent and other Organizations.
17. Sketelies of Prominent Citizens of the County.
18. Public and Private Schools and their Progress.
19. The Climate and its many Advantages to Residents.
20. Botany, Zoology and Miscellaneous Matter.
The alphabetical index will be found an invaluable guide, and refers to more than 400 subdivisions of the above subjects. The first part of the work embraces a brief history of Cali- fornia from the discovery of the Pacific Ocean to this date.
It has been the policy of men in all ages to preserve by tra- dition, inscription, monument or manuscript, the memory of individuals and events associated with the settlement of a State or country. We have therefore given considerable space to the biographical department, which contains very much of interest. A few years from now it will be ofteuest perused, for people deliglit to read of the pioneers of a country and of their trials. Each sketch contains some incidents of pioncer life, or some facts relative to the county, its soil, mode of cul- tivation, variety of crops, manner of harvesting, average production of different localities, and similar information not casily separated from the personal narrative, but can be found by the subheadings. Owing to the transitory state of society during the early days of California, it is impossible at this comparatively remote period, to fix the exact dates of many occurrences, or to get at the full truth of the matter. The rcader will perhaps notice discrepancies in dates and incidents, and as it was impossible to adjust the differences, we have given the statements of each writer without change.
Gathering news of early events is very unsatisfactory. An " old pioncer " will enlarge by the hour upon early days, but pin him down to facts and figures, and endeavor to get a tangible historical account of any particular event of "tbose glorious days," and it seems to be too great an effort. Now a pioneer never would be guilty of admitting that he had forgotten anything of early times, yet get a half-dozen together to fix the date of any event, and no two of them will agree. Each will have a different date and version of the affair, and posi- tively affirm it, as he " was there at the time." Special care has been taken, however, to avoid discrepancies, and we flatter ourselves that, in the main, the facts set forth will prove to be perfectly reliable.
-We expect criticism. All that the publishers ask is that it be done in charity, after considering all the obstacles and hindrances involved in a work of this magnitude. Few per- sons without actual experience can comprehend the care and pains necessary to complete a book of this description.
Many old settlers, whose years of honorable toil have trans- formed the wild lands into harvest-laden fields, have placed us under obligations for historical and biographical incidents con- nected with the early history of the county.
A few years more, and all pioneers will have passed "over the river." Many now lie among the golden sands that allured them bither. Let no unmerited blot be cast upon the grand army of adventurers who covered these western shores, and brought with them the foundation of society, schools, and homes.
Our thanks are due to the citizens of the county for the cordial good feeling manifested toward our enterprise, having received from them that aid and support which can only be expected among prosperous and intelligent people.
