Foreword

Soon after my appointment as Director of the Bancroft Library in 1946, Donald Coney, University Librarian, forwarded a sheaf of correspondence that had accumulated on his desk, in the President's Office, and at the University Press, relating to the Bancroft Library. The central theme of these communications was the same—that the University of California ought to do something to make the resources of its world-famous Bancroft Library better known to scholars beyond the confines of the University of California campus. Various friends in other universities made the same plea.

Such admonitions to action were not to be lightly disregarded by a new custodian of the Bancroft collections, nor was it in my nature to do so. But what could be done, on a practical and business-like level? Opinions differed. There were those who were sure that the existing system, based on H. H. Bancroft's organization (and the memory of the "oldest employee" as to where things were stored) was quite satisfactory, and others who were convinced that with the growth of the Library and the addition of new collections, the old method of organization was inadequate and must sooner or later break down, creating a chaotic situation.

After mulling over these matters for some months, there emerged the idea of employing an expert to suggest a course of action. This plan was approved, and Dr. Roscoe R. Hill, a member of the staff of the National Archives, Washington, D. C., came to Berkeley for the purpose. During the summer of 1947 he studied the Bancroft collections, and after conferences with the Bancroft staff, Director, and University Librarian, made recommendations of fundamental significance for the development and usefulness of this Library.

Hill's basic idea envisaged an over-all "Guide to the Manuscript Collections of the Bancroft Library," giving sufficient data on each collection to provide scholars with a fairly clear idea of its scope and contents. As examples of such a work, he cited Herbert E. Bolton's Guide to Materials for the History of the United States in the Principal Archives of Mexico, published in 1913; Roscoe R. Hill's Descriptive Catalogue of the Documents relating to the History of the United States in the Papeles Procedentes de Cuba . . ., 1916; and Howard R. Peckham's Guide to the Manuscript Collections in the William L. Clements Library, 1942. In these guides, Hill observed, "there can be found adequate suggestions


vi
as to procedures for handling the many groups which make up such a vast mass of source material as is found in the Bancroft Library. . . . [It] is comprised of similar groupings of records and manuscripts, so it is clear that the same technique which was employed in these volumes should easily be applied in the preparation of a guide for the Bancroft materials."

In addition to such a general "Guide," Hill also had the concept of preparing special calendars or lists of particular sections of Bancroft's sources, such as the calendar of the Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo Documents prepared later by Dr. Doris M. Wright. In fact, he proposed "A Guide to H. H. Bancroft's Californiana," since these documents are of the greatest importance for California history and comprise a central core of the manuscripts assembled in Bancroft's lifetime. He saw that such a volume would give recognition to the work of a man whose achievements were not fully acknowledged in his own day but now loom very large.

Rounding out his idea of opening up to scholars the rich Bancroft collections through such descriptions, Hill suggested also a "Calendar of Spanish Original Documents in the Bancroft Library" relating to Mexico and the Spanish areas of the United States; a "Guide to the Mexican Manuscripts in the Bancroft Library," because of their enduring interest and importance; and, finally, a "List of Transcripts and Photographic Reproductions in the Bancroft Library," which would bring out the great resources of the Library in these newer forms of preserving historical sources.

We found it to be one thing to have an idea and quite another to implement it. The "Old Bancroft" materials—and by this term we refer with respect and admiration to the sources H. H. Bancroft had gathered—were known primarily through the elaborate footnotes in the 39 volumes of his Works. When a reader asked to see one of these documents, the librarian usually knew, by reference to these footnotes, where he would find a particular item. But for the manuscripts acquired after 1905, that is, after Bancroft sold his library to the University of California, there were no such finding aids—nor, indeed, did the newer acquisitions fit readily into the old scheme of arrangement. Though the memory of the "oldest employee" usually produced any desired document, the uncomfortable thought persisted of what would happen if he forgot, or if he retired, with the result that the chain of events narrated above finally started us on the logical path, namely, of reorganizing the entire system of classification of the manuscript collections, of bringing the "old" and the "new" into juxtaposition without loss of identity, and of preparing a "Guide" to the combined mass of materials. This has now been accomplished, down to December, 1962.

This reorganization was a step of the greatest importance in the development of the Bancroft Library's resources. It had to be done, in spite of much doubt as to its practicability. Time, indeed, has already vindicated these changes. While preparing descriptions of individual collections for the Guide, the staff has, at the same time, prepared catalog cards for these collections. Guide making and cataloging have thus gone forward hand-in-hand, indispensable prerequisites for the orderly growth of the Library.

Volume I of the Guide covers the entire West in the Bancroft Library's field, from Alaska to Arizona and from Texas to Hawaii, with the exception of California.


vii
A second volume, now well under way, will be devoted exclusively to California manuscripts, and a third volume, also in preparation, will deal with Mexico, Central America, and in general with Spanish Colonial America, including Louisiana and the West Indies.

This structural division is in accord with the three classifications established in H. H. Bancroft's day, when manuscripts were categorized as "Pacific," "California," or "Mexican." Newer collections are fitted into this scheme, in order to maintain as much of the old as is feasible.

Many hands have had a part in this program. When Dale L. Morgan joined the Bancroft staff in 1954, it became his chief responsibility, working closely with the Director, to establish the "pattern" of the Guide and to get the work done. Members of the "team" aiding him included Julia H. Macleod, a member of the Manuscripts staff since 1948, whose experience and judgment proved invaluable; Dr. Doris M. Wright, who prepared a Calendar of the Vallejo Papers; Elisabeth Gudde, Vivian Fisher, Estelle Rebec, Jean Finch, Gwladys L. Williams, Marie Byrne, and others. These have been the chief members on the "firing line," but members of the Reference staff, especially Dr. John Barr Tompkins, Robert H. Becker (now assistant director), and Helen Harding Bretnor, were often called into consultation, as were Eleanor Bancroft before her death in 1956 and Dr. J. S. Holliday during his membership on the Bancroft staff from 1958 to 1961. The voluminous typing was done by Ruth Rodríguez, except for the index, which is the work of other hands.

Publication of this first volume of "The Guide to the Bancroft Library's Manuscript Collections" has been made possible by establishment of a Bancroft Library Publications Fund, a gift of generous friends and donors. From this fund, a sum has been set aside as a subsidy for printing Volume I, to bring the sales cost of the book within reach not only of collectors and libraries, but also of graduate students and other scholars, who I am sure will appreciate this benefaction.

Introduction

In the year 1860 the twenty-eight-year-old Hubert Howe Bancroft brought together in his San Francisco bookstore all the works on hand relating to California, Oregon, Washington, and Utah. This he did for the use of William H. Knight, who was preparing for the Bancroft house a Hand-Book Almanac for the Pacific States. "I succeeded," Bancroft recalled many years later in his Literary Industries, "in getting together some fifty or seventy-five volumes. This was the origin of my library, sometimes called the Pacific Library, but latterly the Bancroft Library."

Thus, from the beginning, the Bancroft Library had an active interest in historical materials, soon extending to manuscripts, which related to the region the Library defines today as "Pacific and Western"—all western North America north of Mexico except California, also including Hawaii and those vast Pacific Ocean areas which are the frontiers of the Island State. It will help in understanding the nature of the manuscripts described in this volume if the various stages of the collecting activity are also briefly described.

Let us begin with William H. Knight. In the interests of the Hand-Book Almanac (of which Bancroft eventually published three editions, for the years 1862-1864, with a Pacific Almanac for 1865) Knight customarily wrote to officials of the Western States and Territories, and to other well-informed persons, seeking statistical and general information. At the same time, he made extensive collections of clippings. Knight's gleanings ended up as a series of scrapbooks, running to many volumes, which are today classed among the Library's California Manuscripts, described in a later volume of this Guide. In some instances, however, letters written for Knight's benefit later strayed into the main Bancroft manuscript collections, and a few are listed in the present volume. The Bancroft Company, under its various corporate names, regularly published statistical compilations akin to Knight's, particularly those edited by John S. Hittell in the 1880's, and many of the questionnaires Hittell circulated, with some of his correspondence, have also gone to swell the general manuscript collections, especially for the Pacific Northwest.

Meantime, H. H. Bancroft's library proliferated swiftly in all directions. He found himself purchasing individual books, then whole libraries. From the vantage


2
point of 1890, Bancroft commented: "Gradually and almost imperceptibly had the area of my efforts enlarged. From Oregon it was but a step to British Columbia and Alaska; and as I was obliged for California to go to Mexico and Spain, it finally became settled to my mind to make the western half of North America my field, including in it the whole of Mexico and Central America."

The question arose, what use to make of his acquisitions. Bancroft thought naturally in terms of publication, and in 1871, encouraged by Hittell, he decided to publish an encyclopedia of the Pacific States. A prospectus was printed and letters written to possible contributors—including, Bancroft says, A. N. Fisher of Nevada, Matthew P. Deady and L. F. Grover of Oregon, R. McCormick and A. P. K. Safford of Arizona, and R. G. Greene of Washington. He also visited Utah and personally enlisted the support of the Mormons. "President Young and the leading elders entered heartily into my project, and a scheme was devised for obtaining information from every part of Utah." But by degrees Bancroft gave up the idea of an encyclopedia, realizing that nothing would do but to write and publish a vast history of western North America. As the necessary foundation for such a work, he prepared a massive, five-volume history of the American aborigines, Native Races, published to critical acclaim in 1874-1876. Thereafter the road lay open before him.

By then Bancroft had faced up to some of the necessities attendant on such a work as he contemplated. So recently had the West been settled that many of the main actors in the drama were yet alive; some were still active men of affairs. To a considerable extent, it was contemporary history he must write, and though Bancroft prized documentary materials, he understood that he must gather reminiscences from living persons—arrange to have their life stories written for him or dictated to his agents. This work he began in California, and pursued with remarkable energy and persistence, and unusual expenditure of time and money. Through the middle 1870's California almost wholly preoccupied him, though among the manuscripts here described will be found occasional dictations or memoranda acquired from "outlanders" who chanced to cross his path in San Francisco. But by 1878 Bancroft realized that he must lift his sights. He made arrangements for one of his assistants, Ivan Petrov, to visit Alaska, and himself inaugurated the collection of information in the Pacific Northwest by a personal foray north.

With him went his second wife, Matilda Coley Griffing, whom he had married in 1876. Thus Matilda began her own not inconsiderable contributions to the eventual History and the Bancroft manuscript collections. Her education with regard to history had commenced early in her marriage, for on their honeymoon Bancroft took her to John A. Sutter's home in Pennsylvania, and she had sat by, "sometimes sewing, always lending an attentive ear, with occasional questions addressed to the general," while her husband worked his head off, personally taking down Sutter's recollections. (Bancroft labored with Sutter ten hours a day over a period of five days; it is evident that as a historian he had a paragon of a bride.)

In his autobiography Bancroft makes a rare tale of his northern excursion of 1878, and many more details could be filled in by study of the manuscripts he brought back with him. With Mrs. Bancroft, he sailed from San Francisco on April 30, and it was July 7 before he returned home. Most of the first month was


3
spent in Victoria. There a useful assistant, Thomas H. Long, occupied himself in making transcripts of the Douglas, Fraser, Tolmie, Work, and other papers (the originals of which in some instances have since disappeared), while Bancroft and his wife were interviewing such well-informed men as A. C. Anderson, W. F. Tolmie, Roderick Finlayson, John Tod, and Archibald McKinlay. As Bancroft observes, Matilda "took from one person, a missionary, the Rev. Mr Good, one hundred and twenty foolscap pages descriptive of the people and country round the upper Fraser. In Mr Anderson's narrative, which was very fine, she took special interest, and during our stay in Victoria she accomplished more than any one engaged in the work."

On the last day of May, "having completed one of the hardest months of recreation I ever experienced," Bancroft turned southward, crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Townsend in Washington. Here he found a valuable source of information in James G. Swan, and another in F. W. Pettygrove, the co-founder of Portland. (Oddly, some people Bancroft mentions at Port Townsend as having provided dictations or "additions to my historical stores" are not represented among his manuscripts, and this is also the case at Seattle.) Bancroft made the acquaintance of Dr. Thomas T. Minor, from whom his copy of the Samuel Hancock reminiscences came. He also met James S. Lawson of the United States Coast Survey, who afterward furnished an interesting autobiography concerning the work of the Survey. A fortunate acquisition at Port Townsend was Amos Bowman, a stenographer of scientific attainments who accompanied the Bancrofts as far as Salem, Oregon, and later came to San Francisco, contributing much to the wealth of information recorded.

From Port Townsend Bancroft sailed to Seattle, where he obtained dictations from H. L. Yesler, Arthur Denny, and others, including "the pioneer expressman of both California and British Columbia, Billy Ballou, a rare adventurer, and in his way a genius." After two days in Seattle, Bancroft embarked for Olympia. The constant profitable use he made of his time is shown by a passage in Literary Industries: "When fairly afloat I took my stenographer to the wheel-house, and soon were spread upon paper the striking scenes in the life of Captain [John G.] Parker, who, as our little craft shot through the glassy forest-fringed inlet, recited his history in a clear intelligent manner, together with many points of interest descriptive of our charming surroundings." A dictation was also taken from a passenger aboard, Captain Eugene Ellicott of the Coast Survey, Bowman writing from the captain's notes "until eleven o'clock, when we retired."

At Olympia, Bancroft was waited upon by the principal ladies and gentlemen of the Washington capital, including Governor Elisha P. Ferry and Elwood Evans, the historian of the area. Evans, Bancroft says, "devoted the whole of two days to me, drew forth from many a nook and corner the musty records of the past, and placed the whole of his material at my disposal." Evans had hoped to do a large work himself, but yielded to Bancroft's superior advantages, only wishing to see the information he had gathered during the last thirty years properly used. "And so," Bancroft comments, "the soul of this man's ambition, in the form of two large cases of invaluable written and printed matter on the Northwest Coast, was shipped down to my library, of which it now constitutes an important part. To call such a one generous is faint praise."

The scene next shifted to Portland, where Bancroft found many warm friends ready to assist him. With Matilda and Bowman, he talked with political figures of the present and recent past, living pioneers like the daughter of Dr. John McLoughlin, who afterward gave him McLoughlin papers which are one of the ornaments of the Library's Oregon manuscripts, and various men of affairs. Among many other comments, Bancroft says: "Colonel Sladen, aide-de-camp to General Howard, who was absent fighting Indians, not only threw open to me the archives of the military department, but directed his clerks to make such abstracts from them as I should require. Old Elisha [Elijah] White, the first Indian and government agent in Oregon, I learned was in San Francisco. On my return I immediately sought him out, and had before his death, which shortly followed, many long and profitable interviews with him." Mrs. Frances Fuller Victor, whose writings on Oregon had greatly impressed him, was absent at the time on the southern coast, gathering information for a revision of her Oregon and Washington. After he returned home, Bancroft wrote offering her a job in his library; she accepted, and for years "proved one of my most faithful and efficient assistants."

Temporarily suspending the work at Portland to attend the annual reunion of the Oregon Pioneer Association, the Bancroft entourage had a hot and dusty time of it at Salem, but "worked with a will, day and night; and the notes there taken, under the trees and in the buildings about the fair-grounds, at the hotel, and in private parlors and offices, made a huge pile of historic lore when written out as it was on our return to San Francisco." Among those present were J. Henry Brown, afterward a tower of strength in gathering Oregon data, John Minto and his wife, "J. Quinn Thornton, with his long grizzly hair and oily tongue . . . still declaiming against Jesse Applegate for leading him into Oregon by the then untried southern route thirty years before," and such other notables as Joel Palmer, James W. Nesmith, and Medorem Crawford. En route back to Portland, Bancroft stopped off at Oregon City to take down the recollections of S. W. Moss, A. L. Lovejoy, and John M. Bacon; and he signalizes among his Portland acquisitions "the remarkable dictations given me by Judge Deady and Judge Strong, each of which, with the authors' writings already in print, constitutes a history of Oregon in itself."

The further journey southward to California was overland, with stopovers here and there. One whole day Bancroft spent at Drain with Jesse Applegate; at Roseburg he worked patiently with Joseph Lane; and at Jacksonville he labored through an entire night, taking down in his own handwriting what he ruefully calls "a most disgusting dictation from the old Indian-butcher John E. Ross." Some of the other people met during the final days of the trip later channeled documents and reminiscences into his collections, like the remarkable material that came from B. F. Dowell. Bancroft mentions a meeting at Ashland with O. C. Applegate, whose extensive personal papers came to the Library for microfilming over eighty years later, long after the two men had gone on to their reward.

Three days after Bancroft returned from this trip, Ivan Petrov left for Alaska aboard the U. S. revenue cutter Richard Rush. En route, the ship touched at Nanaimo, Fort Rupert, and Fort Simpson, where Petrov improved the opportunity to gather information on the early operations of the Hudson's Bay Company in


5
British Columbia, including a dictation from Joseph William McKay. Petrov then went on to Fort Wrangel, Sitka, and other Alaska ports, all the while assiduously gathering information. He kept a conscientious journal of the trip, preserved among Bancroft's Alaska manuscripts and summarized at length in Literary Industries. As in the case of Bancroft's own harvest that summer, not all the historical materials mentioned have survived among the Bancroft manuscript collections; nor does anyone on the premises today have any idea what happened to the mummy Petrov brought back and installed in a glass case, which for many years startled visitors to H. H. Bancroft's Library. Petrov returned to San Francisco on October 27, 1878, and thereafter, for several years, he actively pressed the work on Bancroft's history of Alaska. His translations from Russian books and manuscripts were particularly helpful, to H. H. Bancroft as to later scholars.

Having broken ground in the Pacific Northwest and started a substantial flow of informative letters, reminiscences, and documents from that quarter, H. H. Bancroft turned his attention to the problem presented by Utah and the Mormons. He had enjoyed cordial relations with the Mormon church officials in the course of publishing his statistical works of the past, but writing a history of Utah would touch the Saints at a much more sensitive point. Accordingly, Bancroft proceeded with great circumspection. President Brigham Young had died in 1877, so it was his successor, John Taylor, that Bancroft approached in January, 1880, using as an intermediary a Salt Lake City bookseller, James Dwyer. The Church decided to coöperate, and in July, 1880, one of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Franklin D. Richards, was detailed to the work. With his wife, Richards journeyed to San Francisco and spent two weeks there, most of the time as guest of the Bancrofts. Both he and Mrs. Richards gave extended dictations, and thus began the inflow of such personal documents from Utah. After Richards returned home, he and the Church exerted themselves in Bancroft's interest, and some of the results are seen in the many manuscripts described in this Guide, dated between 1880 and 1883.

By 1884 Bancroft was feeling the pressure from his gigantic 39-volume publishing project, now advancing on many fronts. Between 1882 and 1884 he republished the five volumes of his Native Races, and also got out his three-volume history of Central America, the first three of his five-volume history of Mexico, both volumes of his history of the Northwest Coast, the first of his seven-volume history of California, and the first of his two-volume history of the North Mexican States and Texas. Sales forces were being mustered throughout the West to market these books and the works in progress. Yet there were still great holes in his research, particularly for the Rocky Mountain States and Territories.

Illness in his family impelled Bancroft to undertake in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico what he had done six years before in the Pacific Northwest. His son Philip was not physically robust, and when in the summer of 1884 the boy developed a disturbing cough, Bancroft departed for dryer climes, taking along his entire family, including Kate, his daughter by his first marriage, who had previously shared in some of his field labors in California. For six weeks in August and September the Bancrofts remained in Salt Lake City, taking dictations from principal Mormons and non-Mormons—a work in which Matilda and Kate joined with Bancroft and such stenographers as he hired on the spot. Some of the Mormons


6
interviewed at this time had figured prominently in the history of Carson Valley when it was a Mormon outpost during the 1850's, particularly Hampden S. Beatie, John Reese, and William Jennings. The dictations obtained from these men added importantly to the scant handful of Nevada dictations Bancroft had acquired since 1879, mostly through the agency of George Morrison, one of his right-hand men in the Library.

The time of Bancroft's stay in Salt Lake City was a critical one for the Mormon church, the anti-polygamy crusade rising toward its high tide, and the feeling between Mormons and anti-Mormons correspondingly embittered. Bancroft says: "We saw much of the leaders on both sides, were entertained by gentiles and Mormons, and entertained them in return; we listened attentively, but said little; it was no wonder, therefore, that we were regarded somewhat suspiciously by both sides. All this was of small consequence, however, beside the accomplishment of our mission, which was fully done in every particular."

In September the Bancrofts continued on to Denver, "stopping at Cañon City, Leadville, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and other points of historic interest and importance." At this time, Bancroft says, Colorado was in a very prosperous condition, and the people "justly proud of their state, of its history, its resources, and its possibilities. By supplying myself pretty freely with help in the form of stenographers and statisticians, I secured the experiences of several hundred of those who had had the most to do in making the early history of this region. Among the manuscripts thus resulting was one which must ever constitute [one of] the corner-stones of Colorado history. Nearly two months were occupied in writing it, and the work on it was done in this way: Taking a full file of the Rocky Mountain News, the first journal published in the country and still running, I sat down before it with a stenographer and its first editor [William N. Byers], who, while I questioned and commented, told the history of the state, turning over the leaves of the newspaper to refresh his memory, and give him the desired information." The active part taken by Matilda and Kate Bancroft in the Colorado work is shown by the many manuscripts in their handwriting; and H. H. Bancroft recorded his full share.

Leaving his family pleasantly situated in Denver, Bancroft traveled up to Cheyenne and spent two profitable weeks there, going through newspaper files and "writing out the experiences of the prominent men." In this and subsequent labors relating to the history of Wyoming, he was greatly assisted, he says, by the Territorial librarian, John Slaughter, and by A. S. Mercer of the Live Stock Journal, John W. Hoyt, J. M. Carey, W. W. Corlett, and various others. Cordial aid was also given by residents of Laramie and Lander, and by the commanding officers of the military posts of the Territory, though it does not appear that he extended his travels beyond Cheyenne.

Some of the winter of 1884-1885 Bancroft and his family spent in New Mexico. He says that he "had interviews with most of the leading men, and obtained a large mass of material which was an absolute necessity to my work. At Santa Fé I examined the archives thoroughly, and engaged Samuel Ellison, the keeper, to go through them and make extracts from some, and complete copies of all of the important papers and manuscripts. After a time, however, finding the task too slow and irksome for him, being an old man and somewhat averse to labor, he


7
finally consented, contrary to the regulations, but greatly to my satisfaction, to send to me in San Francisco in bundles, by express, a portion at a time, of such material that I wanted copied, that I might have the work done in my library." (These archival abstracts, to which Bancroft frequently refers in his history of Arizona and New Mexico, were not incorporated into his manuscript collections, but are preserved among the work notes for that volume of his History.)

So far Bancroft's Literary Industries gives a general picture of his labors with regard to the Pacific and Western States and Territories. It would appear that he intended to visit Arizona in the interests of his History, but never managed to do so, and though he crossed and recrossed Nevada by train, he seems never to have felt any personal necessity to search out Nevada materials. One reason may be that Arizona and Nevada in the 1870's and 1880's were financial and cultural appendages of California, and many of the prominent men of both Territories were being interviewed as Californians; typical is the dictation by the one-time Arizona governor A. P. K. Safford, which is filed among Bancroft's California Manuscripts.

Also neglected were Idaho and Montana in one direction, and Texas in the other. Bancroft tells of his indebtedness to Granville Stuart in Montana, saying that "through him, and by various other means, I was enabled to secure from that quarter, including Idaho, sufficient for my purpose," but he clearly had reference to printed materials, supplied in 1879. Nothing about Bancroft's Montana and Idaho manuscripts suggests that Stuart had anything to do with them, and the earlier dictations relating to these Territories give the impression that they were recorded in California, or through some casual circumstance, not as a result of any well-conceived and vigorously executed collecting program.

One signal event of the later 1880's must be noted, apart from Bancroft's personal labors in the Rocky Mountain region, and that is his acquisition of the remarkable collections made by the French savant, Alphonse L. Pinart. Pinart was a linguist of almost boundless capabilities, who could write with equal facility in French, German, Russian, English, Spanish, and Latin, and characteristically did so in his diaries and notes. Pinart is understood to have been born in France in 1852. If so, he must have been precocious, for Bancroft says he was in California as early as 1869, already an accomplished scholar. In 1871-1872 he traveled extensively in Alaska, studying the Aleut and Kolosh Indians, and after a visit home, at which time the Société de Géographie awarded him a gold medal for his explorations, Pinart began an extensive new series of travels. In February, 1875, he was in St. Petersburg, searching the archives for material on Russian America, and at this time wrote Bancroft offering to place at his disposal whatever information he turned up. "Pinart was to be in San Francisco the following autum, and was to bring with him all his material," Bancroft relates. "This he did, adding rich treasures to my library. Of such books and manuscripts as he had in duplicate, I took one; the rest were copied in full in a translation made for me by Mr Ivan Petroff."

Bancroft's reference here is to Pinart's initial activities with respect to Alaska. As will be seen from Pinart's fragmentary diaries of 1871-1882, which later came into Bancroft's possession and are described herein among the Western and Miscellaneous manuscripts, Pinart traveled extensively afterward, his scholarly wanderings


8
taking him to Arizona and New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, Central and South America, California, the Pacific Northwest, the South Pacific, and other widely separated places. Through all his travels Pinart kept a sharp eye open for historical materials. Some documents he copied; others he purchased or was given, and these are among the finest manuscripts in the Bancroft collections. Outstanding in this volume of the Guide are Pinart's manuscripts of the Texas revolutionary period, and those he salvaged in New Mexico after a governmental blunder scattered the old Spanish archives of that Territory in 1870. Pinart's linguistic collections are important, too, and in modern times have attracted scholarly attention.

The next phase of the Bancroft manuscript collecting program is passed by virtually unnoticed in Literary Industries, though it greatly swelled the total bulk of the "Bancroft dictations." These collections were a by-product of the work of the Bancroft book agents, fanning out through the West. Admittedly the dictations these men gathered do not begin to compare with the elaborate narratives taken down in California, or those resulting from the travels of the Bancrofts in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains. The book agents were primarily hired to sell subscriptions to the Bancroft Works, but it was part of their modus operandi to write biographical sketches of prospective subscribers. Whether or not a man placed an order, his dictation was mailed to the business office. It was then handed over to the Library, a title applied and a permanent number given preliminary to shelving the manuscript. Most of these dictations did not come to hand until the various volumes of the Works were substantially complete, and little use is made of them—mainly as condensed biographies belatedly attached to footnotes. The difficulty of using these sketches, which usually consist only of a page or two or three, has been such that most scholars, down to the present day, have shied away from them. One of the particular labors attendant on the preparation of this Guide has been the classification of most of these dictations by geographic area, usually by city or county of residence, which should render them more usable. A large proportion of the men who gave the dictations have escaped notice in the standard biographical works published for the various Western States, which makes the manuscripts that much more valuable.

Many of the book agents were men with a real interest in history, and a consciousness of historical forces. They were alive to the opportunities that might offer for the gathering up of documentary materials. For example, it was doubtless through the spadework of one of the agents that the Kit Carson Papers came to H. H. Bancroft from T. O. Boggs, the administrator of Carson's estate. In some areas, moreover, virtually all of the gathering up of historical data in manuscript was the work of these agents; Texas is peculiarly a case in point.

The last phase of H. H. Bancroft's manuscript collecting was a logical effect of the labors of the book agents, and also of the looming completion of the 39-volume Works. Bancroft conceived as a necessary supplement to his histories a biographical series, Chronicles of the Builders of the Commonwealth. Seven volumes make up this work, published in 1891-1892. As he said in the preface to the first volume, Bancroft's purpose was to record the lives of "the makers and rulers of the commonwealth, the political and social dominators, the embodiment of the power, wealth, and intelligence of the community." He felt that he should be properly paid for going to the trouble of recording the life work of these "Builders,"


9
and no living notable was written up in the Chronicles who did not pay Bancroft's space rates. The result was the gathering during 1888-1890 of a considerable amount of biographical data about prominent personalities—and not only men living in the West, as may be seen from some of the manuscript material described under the Western and Miscellaneous head, which goes as far afield as New York and Chicago. The majority of Bancroft's "Builders," insofar as this volume of the Guide is concerned, lived in Oregon and Colorado. In a few instances, the work done by Bancroft and his co-laborers was seemingly lost, the "Builder" at the last moment declining to pay according to contract, or to approve the biography as written, but the biographical materials were preserved in manuscript and now get their due. The correspondence accompanying the collections of biographical data on various "Builders" is often extremely interesting, the Bancroft agents sizing up with great shrewdness the men with whom they dealt.

The Bancroft Library was purchased by the University of California late in 1905. It had not yet been moved across the Bay at the time of the San Francisco earthquake and fire in April, 1906, but fortunately it was outside the fire area and survived the holocaust, the only major San Francisco library preserved intact. The library was removed to the Berkeley campus a few weeks later. During the next four decades there was little significant expansion of the collection in the Pacific and Western field, the attention of the Library being more characteristically directed to gathering California materials, and copies of documents in the archives of Spain and Mexico, though Gregory F. Crampton collected a sizable body of Nevada materials for the Library, and Hugh F. O'Neil significantly enlarged the Utah collections just prior to World War II. A reinvigorated collecting program since the close of the war has directed particular attention to contemporary documentation—letters, diaries, and kindred materials—that will give weight and body to the extensive collections of dictations. That new force in scholarship, microfilm, has made itself felt in the Pacific and Western area as elsewhere among the Bancroft collections, and all films outside archival classifications—that is, all given regular call numbers—have been described in this Guide.

This brief account of the building of the Bancroft Library manuscript collections over a period of more than a century has served to describe the nature of the collections. There remains to be said something about the structure of this Guide.

It has been found desirable to describe the manuscripts by geographic area, using the same main classifications established in H. H. Bancroft's day, but with one added category, here called Western and Miscellaneous. Within each division, the manuscripts are described alphabetically by author. If a manuscript was part of the original H. H. Bancroft collection, the fact is shown by the symbol HHB in the heading. The call number of each manuscript is also given; e.g., the Mason Brayman Papers among the Idaho manuscripts have the call number P-H 124. A film is designated as such in the call number. (Sometimes the Library has photographic prints of these films, more convenient for study.)

The Library's manuscript collections are interpenetrating; thus the California Manuscripts may contain material significantly relating to Utah or Mexico; the Mexican Manuscripts may have material pertaining to Alaska or California; and as will be seen by examination of the Guide, the Pacific and Western Manuscripts


10
contain much of interest concerning other areas. In describing the various manuscripts particular attention has been given to the problem of locating material in places it would not normally be looked for. Disproportionate space is given to this aspect of the manuscripts in some instances, but in this way the indexes to the various volumes of the Guide to be published will bring out all major references to particular geographic areas. The index is consequently a major feature of the Guide, a significant reference tool in its own right.

Because space pressure is severe, descriptions of the contents of manuscripts have necessarily been curtailed. There is again a certain lack of proportion, in giving as much space to a couple of two-page dictations as can be spared to describe an entire collection—even a major collection. But we have had to take the manuscripts as we have found them, and bear in mind that detailed calendars may hereafter be published for the large collections, whereas the smaller items are being described once and for all. It is hoped that enough information is provided to give a scholar a fair idea whether any manuscript is germane to his researches. Fuller descriptions of many of the manuscripts are available in the Library. These include special reports and keys to arrangement for large groups of papers and complex microfilms.

WHITMAN, MARCUS, 1802-1847

Letters and Papers of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman. 1825-1847.

9 items. [P-A 341]

Papers of the New York physician and his wife, Narcissa (Prentiss) Whitman (1808-1847), who undertook a mission to Oregon for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in 1836 established a pioneer station at Waiilatpu in present Washington, and after a journey by the doctor to and from the United States in 1842-1843 were killed by disaffected Cayuse Indians late in 1847. This group of Whitman Mss., the Eleona Underwood Collection, consists of the following:

Marcus Whitman Papers: Ticket of admission to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District, State of New York, for lectures on midwifery, October 3, 1825; fragmentary diary notes, May 14-July 13, 1835, describing the first stage (as far as the Platte) of a journey to the Rocky Mountains with Samuel Parker (4 p. A.Ms. 33 cm.); letter to his stepfather and mother, Calvin and Alice Loomis, "Platt River 4 days above the forks," June 6, 1836 (2 p. A.L.S. 33 cm.); letter to his mother, Alice (Green) Whitman Loomis, "Shawnee Country Methodist mission . . . near Westport [Missouri]," May 27, 1843 (4 p. A.L.S. 25 cm.); and letter to Mrs. Loomis, Waiilatpu, May 20, 1844 (4 p. A.L.S. 25 cm.), postmarked Independence, October 26, "Favor of W. Gilpin."

Narcissa Whitman Papers: Letter to her brother-in-law, Augustus Whitman, and his wife, "Platte River, South side Six days above the Fort, Larimys Fork—near the foot of the Rocky Mountains," June 27, 1836, with additions made at the Green River rendezvous, July 16 (4 p. A.L.S. 33 cm.); copy made for her mother-in-law of her diary, July 18-October 18, 1836, written en route from rendezvous to the Columbia River for the information of her own family, prefaced by a note to Mrs. Loomis dated (Fort) Vancouver, October 13, 1836 (22 folded sheets A.Ms.S. 16 cm.); copy of a letter to her sister and brother-in-law, Mary Ann (Prentiss) and Oren Judson, (Fort) Vancouver, October 24, 1836 (4 p. A.L.S. 16 cm.), originally appended to the diary; and letter to a Mrs. Gilbert (mother of Newton Gilbert, an Oregon emigrant of 1844), Waiilatpu, Oregon Territory, October 15, 1846, with additions dated May 3, 1847 (4 p. A.L.S. 26 cm.).

Whitman's diary of 1835 contains a few entries not in the published version sent the American Board, and there are many variations in phraseology. Mrs. Whitman's letter of June 27-July 16, 1836, notable for its description of the journey which made her (with Eliza Spalding, her fellow missionary) the first white woman to cross South Pass, with a few omissions was printed together with her diary in Oregon Pioneer Association, Transactions, 1891, v. 19, p. 40-68. Half of the first sheet of the diary and all of the fourth were missing in 1891, as now, but the gaps in the text are supplied by the version sent her own parents, in the Whitman College Library. The two versions of the diary differ in small particulars; and the Whitman College copy has entries extending beyond the concluding entry in the Bancroft copy.

A young Englishman, Barclay traveled to Upper Canada in 1833, settling at the Maitland Concession.

He continued at the fort until 1842, then became a trader, and by 1844 had located at the Hardscrabble Settlement in present Colorado. After the American conquest of New Mexico in 1846, he was made alcalde for the upper Arkansas area. In the spring of 1848 he founded Barclay's Fort in New Mexico, at the junction of the Mora and Sabello rivers, and in partnership with Joseph B. Doyle continued this establishment until his death. Some papers for 1856-1858 reflect the efforts of his brother George to settle his estate. Besides Alexander's papers, the collection includes correspondence of George Barclay (d.1871), and their sister Mary (1812?-1851), mostly with other members of the Barclay family.

William Wright came to California from Iowa in 1857; three years later abandoned mining to work for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, becoming a celebrated writer and humorist under the pen name "Dan DeQuille," and continued with the Enterprise most of the time until its demise in 1893. A literary light of the Comstock during its great age, Wright wrote the classic History of the Big Bonanza. His papers consist of correspondence, Mss. of his writings, principally sketches for newspapers and magazines; collections of clippings, mostly contributions to newspapers; and magazine excerpts and items from his library.

The correspondence consists of a letter to his brother-in-law, Dr. J. M. Benjamin, Omega, California, 1860; 18 to his sister Lou (Mrs. Benjamin), 1874-1885; one by his daughter Mell to Mrs. Benjamin, 1878; and 37 letters received, 1875-1897; from Hiram C. Clark, 1878; Samuel Clemens ("Mark Twain") (3), 1864-1875; E. D. Cope, 1880; Amos J. Cummings (2), 1885-1886; Wells Drury, 1897; James G. Fair, 1875; L. W. Ferris, 1875; Henry J.

Valentine, 1874; Joseph Wasson, 1880; John Greenleaf Whittier, 1897; and B. B. Wiley (1887). With the Twain letters is a first draft of Twain's letter to


149
W. K. Cutler, Virginia, May 28, 1864, offering to accept a challenge to a duel, and the cover of Twain's wedding announcement, with remarks to "Dan." Accompanying the correspondence are drafts of five letters written by his daughter, Lura G. Wright, from Newport, Oregon, ca. 1914-1915, in connection with proposals of George Wharton James to publish Dan DeQuille's sketches, a letter from her cousin "Harry," and from Edward E. Hale, Roxbury, Massachusetts, 1901, and a biographical sketch of Wright.

Miscellaneous family papers include four Civil War diaries written by Wright's brother, John M. Wright (1836-1918), while serving as a private in the Second Iowa Cavalry, December 9, 1861-September 23, 1864. He campaigned in Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi, fought at Corinth, and engaged in many skirmishes against Nathan Bedford Forrest. With the diaries are his honorable discharge, Davenport, Iowa, October 3, 1864; a deed to a lot at Newport, Oregon, 1910; and a deed to a cemetery plot at Newport, 1914. Another diary, by Mrs. Benjamin, July 28-September 1, 1879, and July 29-August 5, 1880, describes vacation trips to the Eastern states and Minnesota from West Liberty, Iowa.
