HISTORY BY WILLIAM L. WILLIS
ILLUSTRATED COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME

HISTORIC RECORD COMPANY LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (1913)
12C2793 PREFACE
What is termed "history" is made up of several factors, which sometimes move concurrently and sometimes are divergent. There are many matters of record, which of course are not disputable, but in the recital of which the narrative is tinctured by the opinions or prejudices of the narrator or the historian or of the source of his information. Tradition and personal recollection play another large part in history, and things that are accepted for decades and even for centuries as facts become in the course of time a matter of dispute and even of rejection. The path of the historian therefore is not one of roses. If he be wise he will as far as possible submit each statement to the test of scrutiny and comparison and hold fast to that which he considers as proven, or if he does not reject it, state that the matter is not fully authenticated.
Had the writer been far-seeing, when he came to California in 1874, he would have jotted down the personal recollections and experi- ences of a large number of the pioneers with whom he became ac- quainted and who were then in the prime of a vigorous life and with a vivid recollection of what they had passed through and of the condi- tions they found prevailing here when they arrived. Some of these men came as early as 1846 before the discovery of gold, and he has listened for hours to their tales of adventure and experience, but did not at that time realize that the lips that recited them would one day be stilled in death and many important matters connected with the early history of the state would be buried in oblivion. A book em- bodying these recollections would have been a most fascinating work, for a glamour always hangs over the history of the days of the Argo- nants that seems to grow in interest as time progresses. Many of these reminiscences were probably tinged with romance, but that hardly lessened their interest.
In the compilation of this volume the writer has endeavored to present facts collated by him, without bias or prejudice, and as nearly authenticated as possible. Perhaps some statements may provoke criticism from those who hold a different point of view, or who have received information conflicting with them; and it would be too much to expect that the book would be entirely free from faults or defects, but he can truly say that he has done his best with the resources at his command and sifted the evidence to the best of his ability, and can only ask the indulgence of the public with regard to his shortcomings.
2
In the compilation of this work, the author has consulted a number of authorities, and had the valuable assistance of a number of persons in collecting data. The works of Dr. Morse, Thompson and West, and Winfield J. Davis have been drawn upon freely, as have those of other authorities. To Hon. W. A. Anderson he is indebted for the valuable chapter on "The Bench and Bar," and other reminiscences, and to E. B. Willis, N. E. White, J. A. Woodson and others for suggestions and information. In a work of this kind it is impossible to incorporate all incidents, however interesting to the parties con- cerned, and where it has not been practicable to secure accurate data, some things have been omitted, rather than run the risk of incor- rect statement. He therefore trusts that the public will accept the work in the spirit in which it was written.
