The Great Book Of California PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Sacramento County, California: With Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the County Who Have Been Identified With Its Growth and Development From the Early Days to the Present Such has been for many years the attitude of a large part of this grand state, the empress that sits throned on the shores Of the Pacific, conscious of her charm and confident of the future that awaits her, and that is drawing as a magnet the dwellers of colder climes and more inhospitable Shores to the land of sunshine and flowers. And such has long been the attitude of Sacramento county, the peer of any in California. But a' transformation has begun and the future will witness the unfolding of the bud of beauty into a perfect flower that shall surpass the most sanguine expectations. With a city that will expand in the future into the largest inland city on the coast, all her advantages will keep pace with her evolution and she will take her proper place among the gems that grace the diadem of the great empire of the Pacific coast, the magnificent state that took for her motto Eureka, and might well have added to it Excelsior.
