Antonio María Osio’s La Historia de Alta California was the first written history of upper California during the era of Mexican rule, and this is its first complete English translation. A Mexican-Californian, government official, and the landowner of Angel Island and Point Reyes, Osio writes colorfully of life in old Monterey, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and gives a first-hand account of the political intrigues of the 1830s that led to the appointment of Juan Bautista Alvarado as governor. Osio wrote his History in 1851, conveying with immediacy and detail the years of the U.S.-Mexican War of 1846–1848 and the social upheaval that followed. As he witnesses California’s territorial transition from Mexico to the United States, he recalls with pride the achievements of Mexican California in earlier decades and writes critically of the onset of U.S. influence and imperialism. Unable to endure life as foreigners in their home of twenty-seven years, Osio and his family left Alta California for Mexico in 1852. Osio’s account predates by a quarter century the better-known reminiscences of Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo and Juan Bautista Alvarado and the memoirs of Californios dictated to Hubert Howe Bancroft’s staff in the 1870s. Editors Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz have provided an accurate, complete translation of Osio’s original manuscript, and their helpful introduction and notes offer further details of Osio’s life and of society in Alta California.

Typescript copy of a speech on the disastrous results of Mexican rule in Alta California between 1824 and 1848, written and delivered by Mr. H.C. Dillon before the California Badger Club in Los Angeles on Mar. 3, 1909. The author begins by attacking Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu, the 18th-century writers whose works yielded a "fearful and bloody harvest" of revolution during the 19th century, and he links their ideas to the Mexican government of California which destroyed the missions first established by the Jesuits, and then taken over by the Dominicans and Franciscans. He praises the civilizing efforts of the missionary friars on the Indian "savages," and criticizes Mexican governors Echeandia, who "secularized [the Indians] with the new ideas of 'liberty, equality and fraternity'", Gov. Victoria who issued a proclamation for the secularization of the missions, and Gov. Figueroa, under whose rule the decree of secularization was finally passed in 1833. Under Pío Pico, the missions were finally ordered sold by a decree of May 28, 1845.
