William Tecumseh Sherman, Memoirs of General William T. Sherman ., volume 1, Chapter 2: early recollections of California--(continued). 1849-1850. (search)
we listened for the guns from the fort. The month of January passed, and the greater part of February, too. As was usual, the army officers celebrated the 22d of February with a grand ball, given in the new stone school-house, which Alcalde Walter Colton had built. It was the largest and best hall then in California. The ball was really a handsome affair, and we kept it up nearly all night. The next morning we were at breakfast: present, Doña Augustias, and Manuelita, Halleck, Murray, and to settle the towns and public lands, and he thought, on the whole,.the Government would be benefited thereby. The same thing occurred as to the gold-mines. He never took a title to a town-lot, unless it was one, of no real value, from Alcalde Colton, in Monterey, of which I have never heard since. He did take a share in the store which Warner, Bestor, and I, opened at Coloma, paid his share of the capital, five hundred dollars, and received his share of the profits, fifteen hundred dollars.

he Revolution in California and the conquest of the country by the United States, 1846–;47 (1848). William E. Connelley has reprinted the Hughes Doniphan with Hughes's diary and other related matter in Doniphan's expedition (1907). With the advance guard of the Army of the West went Major William H. Emory, and his Notes of a military reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth to San Diego, California, 1846–;47 (1848) is an important contribution to the documents on this famous march. The Rev. Walter Colton was in California before the conquest and he wrote an exceedingly valuable book, Three years in California, 1846–;49 (1850), as well as another, Deck and Port, or incidents of a cruise in the United States Frigate Congress, etc. (1850). Still another volume of this period is Notes on a voyage to California together with scenes in Eldorado in 1849 (1878) by S. C. Upham. The name Eldorado enters so commonly into the literature of the Far West that we may at this point note the volume <
