History of Sacramento County, California – William L. Willis.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY is named after the river upon which it is situated, and the latter was named by the Spanish Mexicans, Catholics, in honor of a Christian institution. The word differs from its English correspondent only in the addition of one letter. It would have been a graceful compliment to General Sutter if his own name, or the name New Helvetia, which he had bestowed upon this locality, had been given to the city. Helvetia is the classic name of Switzerland, Sutter’s native country. This book tells the story of Sacramento County on more than 400 thrilling and entertaining pages.

Early Days of San Francisco – John Henry Brown

The book, however, can hardly be called a history, but rather a book of reminiscences and incidents of early days.

By the year 1521 he had conquered the Aztecs of Mexico and forced them to become the subjects of Spain. He was now looking over the western seas for new worlds to conquer. He firmly believed that somewhere in the direction ascribed to California there was a rich and prosperous country. But there were many more who sailed through the Golden Gate in the early years. This book gives an account of their fate … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
