Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition of the California portion. First edition of the California portion. Original publisher's blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on front cover and spine. 6" x 8 3/4." 476 pages, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact overall. Wear to the head and tail of spine and corners. Spots on the back cover, possible dampstains. Quoted from Gary Kurutz, no. 650: "A first edition appeared in 1864 without any reference to California. The 1877 Bancroft edition added Part II, which provides a superb recollection of an Episcopalian minister trying to win souls in the torrid atmosphere of the early 1850s. With his family, Ver Mehr left New York on February 8, 1849, on the ship George Washington and arrived in San Francisco on the 8th or 9th of September. In these recollections, he recounts starting Grace 'Chapel' on the corner of Jackson and Powell streets, participating in the General (Episcopal) Convention of 1853, witnessing the appointment of Rev. Ingraham Kip, and assisting in the consecration of Grace Church. The reverend also established St. Mary's Hall in Sonoma and San Francisco. As Norris points out, this man of cloth had no hesitancy telling about a San Francisco gambler's funeral and the hanging of deserters on Commodore Jones's ship in San Francisco Bay.".…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography that chronicles the author's adventurous youth, beginning in 1813 amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars and ending with his preparation for university at age 14. Amid scenes of battle and political unrest, the author's father, a decorated war hero and political dissident, instilled in his son a love of history, military strategy, and a burning desire for freedom. The author's early education was unconventional, taking place in various locations as he followed his father, who was forced to flee political persecution. Despite these challenges, the author excelled in his studies, delving into the classics, philosophy, science, and languages. He developed a deep interest in military history and engineering, building models and maps of fortifications. While this book provides a fascinating glimpse into a tumultuous period of European history, its significance lies in the insights it offers into the development of a young mind. The author's insatiable curiosity, determination, and unyielding love for learning despite adversity serve as a testament to the power of education and the human spirit. This is a story of resilience, passion, and the transformative power of knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
