PREFACE.


The publication of these Annals is the outgrowth of efforts made in the year 1898, which contemplated a booklet to cover the history of San Bernardino County in concise form, with other information, so arranged as to serve the purpose of a guide book. The movement met with due encour- agement and support ; but the officially expressed wish of the San Bernar- dino Society of California Pioneers, seconded by many good citizens not members of that organization, that the history of their "Imperial County" might be preserved in some more permanent and fitting form, induced the abandonment of the original plan and the adoption of the present one, which by suggestion is largely theirs.


In preparing this book the aim has been to give a concise history of the state, a comprehensive history of the county through all the different stages of its development and a biographical record of the men and the women who have made this history. Throughout the work I have had the invaluable aid of Rose L. Ellerbe, whose signal abilities, literary acumen and untiring de- votion to editorial duties have materially contributed to the historical ex- cellence of the publication.


The "Brief History of California" printed as an introduction to the County History will, without doubt, be appreciated by the reading public. It comes from the pen of a recognized authority upon the history of the state, Professor J. M. Guinn, of Los Angeles.


The Hon. Horace C. Rolfe, has rendered a great service in writing his recollections of the Bench and Bar of San Bernardino County. His long and continuous residence, his intimate relations with his professional col- leagues and his clear memory of past events have made him the fitting per- son to do this work. From the inception of my book, Judge Rolfe has been constantly referred to for historical facts and consulted upon points of uncertainty and the unfailing courtesy and willingness of his responses and the valuable information furnished, have placed me under the deepest obligation to him.


The late Miss Eleanor Freeman collected the data and largely prepared the history of Ontario before her untimely death, and much credit is due to her memory for the careful labor which she expended on her work. The history of Highlands was written by E. J. Yokam, one of the first perman- ent settlers of that community, who has been in close touch with its develop- ment. Mrs. E. P. R. Crafts, of Redlands, furnished much material of value concerning the early history of San Bernardino and the East San Bernar- dino Valley and of the early churches, particularly the Congregational


IV


PREFACE


churches of San Bernardino and Redlands. The scholarly article upon the Geology of the San Bernardino mountain ranges and San Bernardino Valley by the Rev. George Robertson, of Mentone, elucidates a subject upon which little has been written. The excellent story of Mill Creek zanja, written by Professor Charles R. Paine, gives the reader new facts upon an interest- ing subject of hitherto uncertain information.


A large number of manuscripts, interviews and reminiscences which are of great value, since they furnish historical material which would other- wise be entirely lost, have been supplied by the pioneer . residents of the county. The San Bernardino Society of California Pioneers has freely opened its archives; Miguel Bustamante, of Agua Mansa; the late Marcus Katz, and William McDonald, deceased; Sheldon Stoddard and the late Mrs. Stoddard; Mrs. Harriet Mayfield, W. F. Holcomb, F. T. Perris, John Brown, Jr., Sidney P. Waite, all of San Bernardino; John Isaac, now of Sacramento; Bishop Verdaguer, of Brownsville, Texas; Bethel Coopwood, of Loredo, Texas; Richard Gird, Los Angeles; E. G. Judson, William M. Tisdale, Frank E. Brown, Scipio Craig, Robert Hornbeck, Mrs. E. B. Sey- mour, of Redlands ; Dr. James P. Booth and Justice L. V. Root, of Needles. as well as many others, have furnished data and personal reminiscences which have gone far toward making this work of value and interest.


One of the most valuable sources of information has been the files of the newspapers. It is here we find the most authentic record of local his- tory. The files of the following papers and magazines have been con- sulted :


The Los Angeles Star, Los Angeles Library; The San Bernardino Guardian and Argus, furnished by John Brown, Jr .; The San Bernardino Times, from 1879 to 1888, supplied an invaluable fund of information, cov- ering that period ; the files of the Redlands Citrograph, from the first pub- lication in 1887 to the present, were placed at my disposal by the editor, Scipio Craig, and have furnished not only local history, but much valuable data on horticultural, agricultural and irrigation topics ; the early numbers of the Riverside Press and Horticulturist gave data regarding the begin- nings of citrus culture and marketing ; the early numbers of the Rural Cali- fornian supplied much useful information.


"The Land of Sunshine" and Out West, Overland Monthly, Journal of Electricity, Power and Gas; the Colton Chronicle, Redlands Daily Facts: Chino Champion, San Bernardino Daily Sun, San Bernardino Times-Index ; Ontario Observer, and many other newspapers and pamphlets were re- ferred to.


The following authorities have also been consulted :


History of California, H. H. Bancroft.


History of California, Theodore H. Hittell.


Publications of the Historical Society of Southern California.


On the Trail of a Spanish Pioneer, Elliott Coues.

The Biographical Supplement will doubtless prove not the least valu- able feature of the book. It records so much of the personal experience of those who have contributed to the material development of this county and have borne an honorable part in the direction of its public affairs, that it constitutes a fairly comprehensive encyclopedia of local biographical reference. These sketches have not been printed for the purpose of gratifying the desire of any person to appear conspicuously in print and no compensation has been solicited, or received, for such publication. Neither have these notices been limited to people who have patronized my enterprise. This feature of the work has required a vast amount of labor. More than one thousand personal interviews have been made; upwards of two thousand personal letters have been written and posted-not to mention the rigid ex- actions in the labor of editing the material furnished. The facts, in the main, have been gleaned by personal talks with those represented, or with relatives of those who have passed away. To insure accuracy the written articles have been submitted to those from whom the information was ob-

tained. In some instances the sketches have not been returned corrected, and in such cases errors may have been printed, for which I must disclaim responsibility.


The histories of churches and fraternal societies are, in many cases, not so complete as I desired, because the necessary data was not obtainable.


It would have been impossible to illustrate the volume so liberally but for the public spirit of people who, in many instances, have shared with me the burden of expense.


It is a matter of no little satisfaction that such a work, costing so much effort and so large an expenditure of money is, however imperfect, a realized fact. I am still further gratified with the thought of having rescued from oblivion a historical story which, with the rapid passing of the true pioneers and the destruction of other evidences indispensable to the writing of his- tory, will soon be entirely out of the reach of human effort, and I trust that, to some future historian this work will prove an inspiration, and serve as a basis for the more perfect completion of his labors.
