PREFACE.
" HISTORY cannot be written; only the prominent headlands are sighted as the historian sails along over the mazy sea of events," remarked a friend to the writer some time since, and we have been most thoroughly impressed with the truthfulness of the assertion while endeavoring to collate and fix upon the pages of this book the complete history of Mendocino county. Despite all our efforts to prevent them, errors of omission and commission have crept into the work. Owing to the transitory state of society during the early days of California, it is impossible, at this remote period, to fix the exact dates of many occurrences, or to get at the full truth of the matter. Special care has been taken, however, to avoid all discrepancies, and we flat- ter ourselves that, in the main, the facts set forth in the following pages will prove to be perfectly reliable. Our chief desire has been to make this a work of reference and authority concerning the matters set forth in it; hence the extra care and labor that have been bestowed upon it.
The book is illustrated, as will be seen at a glance, with the portraits of worthy pioneer settlers and prominent citizens of Mendocino county, all of whom deserve the proud position they occupy, and are well worthy to go down to posterity as representative men of the county .. There are hosts of other gentlemen who well merit a place in these pages, and we regret that our space forbade the further extension of the courtesy.
The various departments of the work will be found replete with informa- tion. The settlement of the county is given by years, so as to locate the events in groups, and thus the reader may with ease follow up the chain, link by link, and have the entire panorama pass before his mind in an unbro- ken series. The Political and Legislative chapters are very exhaustive and complete, bringing the history of county and township governments from their first incipiency in North America down to the very latest phases in this county. The table showing all the officers that have served from 1859 to 1880, inclusive, is as complete as it is possible to get it, and will prove a
vi

valuable matter of reference. The several appointments made by the Board of Supervisors between each general election are also included in this table, making it far superior to anything ever placed before the people of this county before.
The histories of the several townships of the county will prove one of the most interesting features of the work, as in them will be found all the special history of each individual section, including Lodges, Churches, Schools, Socie- ties, etc., etc. We have preferred to make these chapters very full, to the detriment, in a small degree, of the chapter on General History and Settle- ment.
Much space has been allotted to the subjects of timber, and mills and milling, which fact is owing to the prominence of the latter industry in Mendocino county. The greatest resource of the county is to be found in her extensive redwood and pine forests. But while we have given promi- nence to this interest, we have tried to fully set forth the many other sources of revenue and wealth which the county possesses.
The biographical department contains very much of interest; and a half century from now it will be the oftenest read of all, for people delight to read of the "men of olden times," and to peruse a record of their deeds. With what pride will the descendants of these gentlemen point to the page which contains the sketch of their progenitors in that far away future day !
We have tried to make the book readable withal, and have endeavored to break up the monotony of the narration of historical facts by the introduc- tion of some of the facetia of the olden days, and to clothe the skeleton of data with such a garb of language as would present it to the reader in as attractive form as possible.
We wish to return our sincere thanks to the citizens of Mendocino county for their kind encouragement and generous patronage. We are under special obligations to all of the county officers, without exception, for cour- tesies extended while collecting the data for this work from the records in their respective offices, and particularly to Mr. J. L. Wilson, ex-County Clerk, whose perfect familiarity with all papers on file in the Clerk's office, and his untiring efforts to assist us rendered the greatest of material aid. To the gentlemen of the press, for your many kindly notices and all other assist- ance rendered, we say sincerely, thank you! And to all those pastors of
vii

churches who so kindly furnished us with sketches of their organizations, our sincere thanks are due. Our special thanks are due Mr. A. O. Carpenter for the full and exhaustive sketch of the topography of the county, supplied us by his pen.
Our intercourse with the people of Mendocino county, both of a business and social nature, has been nothing but the most pleasant in every respect, and our only hope is that as much pleasure may accrue to each reader of this history as we have found in collecting the facts and writing it. Hoping, with heartfelt sincerity, that all may find much to commend, and but little to condemn in our work, and that the mantle of charity may be thrown over all defects, we, with great reluctance indeed, pen the last words which end our pleasant task, and subscribe ourselves,
Yours very truly, ALLEY, BOWEN & CO. LYMAN L. PALMER, Historian.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CALIFORNIA.
J. FENNIMORE COOPER, in one of his most able works, says: "On the human imagination events produce the effects of time. Thus, he who has traveled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity. In no other way can we account for the venerable air that is already gathering around American annals. When the mind reverts to the earliest days of colonial history, the period seems remote and obscure, the thousand changes that thieken along the links of recollections, throwing back the origin of the nation to a.day so distant as seemingly to reach the mists of time; and yet four lives of ordinary duration would suffice to transmit, from mouth to mouth, in the form of tradition, all that civilized man has achieved within the limits of the republic." The gifted author here speaks of the many changes which the comparatively few short years have worked upon the banks of the noble Hudson. He remarks: "Other similar memorials of the infancy of the country are to be found scattered through what is now deemed the very centre of American civilization, affording the plainest proofs that all we possess of security from invasion and hostile violence, is the growth of but little more than the time that is frequently filled by a single human life." If such may be deemed remarkable on the shores of that stream, how much more closely do they apply to the giant strides effected by the indomitable will of man on the Pacific coast.
America was discovered by Columbus on the twelfth day of October, 1492, and what a feat was this! Not so much a marvel is it that he came upon the vast continent, as that, in those so-called dark ages there were found men of such great courage and knowledge, unscientific though that may be, to sail away into the darkness, as it were, and sustain themselves against peril on every hand to eventually give, not only to their country, but to mankind the rarest continent of a heatific creation. As the veriest schoolboy knows and utters in a sing-song drawl, America was discovered as stated above, and became the territory of Spain. The Pacific ocean was given to the world by Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, who looked down from the heights of Panama upon its placid bosom on the twenty-fifth day of September, 1513. In 1519 Mexico was conquered by Hernando Cortez, and sixteen years thereafter, in 1537,

his pilot, Zimenez, discovered Lower California. In 1542 a voyage of discovery was made along the Californian coast by the famous Captain Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, on the 5th July of which year, he landed at Cape St. Lucas, in Lower California, and following the coast he finally entered the delightful harbor of San Diego, in Upper California, on September 28th. This place he named San Miguel, which was afterwards changed by Viscaiño to that which it now bears.
The noted English voyager, Sir Francis Drake, sailed along the coast in 1579, but historians are doubtful as to whether he discovered the San Fran- cisco bay. It would appear that this voyage was made from Oregon, where it is said his Spanish pilot, Morera, left him, and thence found his way over- land to Mexico, a distance of three thousand five hundred miles. The name of New Albion was given to the country by Drake, with the evident intention of securing it for the British crown.
It was not until 1602, however, that the Spaniards took any actual steps to possess and colonize the continent. In that year Don Sebastian Vis- caiño was dispatched by the Viceroy of Mexico, acting under the instructions of his royal master, King Philip III, on a voyage of search in three small vessels. He visited various points on the coast, among them San Diego; was well pleased with the appearance of the country, and on December 10th discovered and entered a harbor, which he named in honor of Count de Monterey, the Viceroy who had dispatched him on the cruise. We are told that part of this expedition reached as high as the Columbia river, and that the whole subsequently returned to Acapulco. Its efforts were pronounced satisfactory, a glowing description of the landscape was given, but whether they discovered the San Francisco bay is as much a matter of conjecture and doubt as Drake's visit.
For some unexplained cause not much use had been made of the informa- tion gained from these trips, which were of frequent occurrence, and it was not for one hundred and sixty-eight years that any steps towards the permanent settlement of Upper California were undertaken. Under the joint manage- ment of Church and State a plan with this end in view was commenced in the year 1683, but it failed, the State being there represented by Admiral Otondo, and the Church by a Jesuit Father named Kino, La Paz being their point of operation; but we believe we are correct in stating that they did not all visit Upper California. The settlement of the peninsula was finally undertaken fourteen years later, when sixteen missionary establishments were founded by Father Salva Tierra. The order which he represented falling into disgrace in Europe, however, was banished from the dominions of Spain and Lower California in 1768, after laboring for seventy years. They were in turn succeeded by the Franciscans and Dominicans, the former of whom, under the guidance of Father Junipera Serra, proceeded to the conquest and conversion of this part of the country. This Reverend Father is recognized

by the Catholic Church as the apostle of Upper California, and acknowledged in history as its founder.
The first permanent settlement was made in San Diego in 1769, when was also established the first mission, whence further operations were directed and new missions founded. On July 14, 1769, Gaspar de Portala, who com- manded the expedition that called a halt at San Diego, left that place for Monterey, and there erected a cross.
"Pious Portala, journeying by land, Reared high a cross upon the heathen strand, Then far away, Dragged his slow caravan to Monterey."
With Father Junipera Serra, he continued his northward journey and, by the merest accident, came upon the world-renowned bay of San Francisco.
Finding it a place answering every requirement he named it after San Francisco de Asis, and seven years later, June 27, 1776, possession was taken of the spot and a presidio established, the mission being located on the site of the present church. There may be a doubt as to whether the bay was ever discovered by Drake or Viscaiño, but there is none of the visit of Gaspar de Portala, then Governor of the Californias. Henceforward the establishment of missions was rapid, as will be gathered from the accompanying list :
