Description:

Autobiographies and Reminiscences of California Pioneers, p. 125-128, Vol. 3. This is a typed transcript, bound into a volume, of the member's autobiographical reminiscence created as an institutional record for the Society of California Pioneers. The transcription includes a reference to a photograph of the member in a set of bound volumes. It appears that the photographs in this set were dispersed throughout the regular photography collection, but the photographs referenced in the related materials may or may not be these same photographs. The first page of this reminiscence contains a transcript of a letter, dated May 13th, 1901, and penned by Henry J. Wells. It is addressed to "My Esteemed Friend of Pioneer Days". It states that the following biographical sketch was "in part prepared for and published in a souvenir volume, issued on the occasion of the celebration of the 'Fiftieth Anniversary of Cambridge, Mass. as a City.'" The biographical sketch outlines Mr. Wells' professional career and provides information regarding his numerous political and social contributions. Half of the two page sketch pertains to his life and work in Massachusetts.
