Benjamin Davis Wilson was one of the first American settlers in Southern California. He became a prosperous rancher and the mayor of little Los Angeles. A special friend of the Indians of Southern California, Wilson was appointed their subagent in 1852, when the Indians were on the edge of catastrophe, their population reduced by two-thirds within a generation. Wilson's great contribution, the one he wished to be remembered for, was to appraise the problems of these Indians and urge their settlement on land set aside for them. His report (published in the Los Angeles Star in 1868) was instrumental in creating the reservation system. "The Indians of Southern California in 1852" was inspired by Wilson's desire "to secure peace and justice to the Indians." He recognized his duty to guard against Indian raids on the ranchos and settlements while establishing policies that ensured the future welfare of Indians suffering from the breakdown of the old mission program. Besides the influential Wilson report, this volume contains vivid descriptions of life in the so-called Cow Counties of Southern California at mid-nineteenth century. Also included are excerpts from contemporary newspapers.…

This is Volume XXXI in the series, Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society. It contains transcriptions of letters that were originally written by Charles John Brydges from 1879-1882. Brydges was a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) Land Commissioner and the successor to Donald A. Smith. His letters from 1879-1882 represent a time of great change for HBC but also one of relative economic prosperity. The years 1879-1882 were still within the time period of the Canadian land boom where land sales brought HBC much financial wealth. At the time, there were discussions in HBC about refocusing the business approach to prioritize land sales instead of the sales of furs, especially as competition within the fur trade industry had only increased over the years. Notably, modernization was fast sweeping across Canada, and HBC was experiencing some difficulties in keeping up with the times. The mid- to late-nineteenth century was also a period of significant political change in Canada. For example, the 1870 Deed of Surrender, a transcription of which is included herein, coincided with the establishment of Manitoba as a Canadian province which affected HBC business operations. Brydges took an approach that sought to meet the needs of an increasing population, development of the Canadian wilderness, and changes in contemporary politics. In turn, he implemented projects that focused on modernizing business practices and infrastructure. Brydges's letters generally represent the HBC's economic prosperity at the time and discuss subjects such as land sales and the development of infrastructure such as bridges, steamboat transportation, and properties such as retail stores, mills, and hotels. Three Appendices in back: "Appendix A: Deed of Surrender, 1870," "Appendix B: Observations by Sandford Fleming, 1882," and "Appendix C: Report by William Armit, 1882." Front colophon: "This copy is No. [blank] of a limited Edition which is issued only to subscribers to The Hudson's Bay Record Society.".…
