Description:

Autobiographies and Reminiscences of California Pioneers, p. 123-126, Vol. 2. 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. This reminiscence 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. This reminiscence covers the period of Reis' life from 1845 to 1893. It gives some details concerning his overland journey to California from Texas, and provides his history in the mines and his later work as a business man. It briefly mentions his witnessing of a woman being hanged in Downiesville.
