""The Discovery of Humboldt Bay, California"" is a historical account of the exploration and settlement of Humboldt Bay, located in the northern part of California. Written by George Davidson and first published in 1891, the book covers the period from the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century to the establishment of a permanent settlement in the mid-19th century.Davidson, a renowned geographer and cartographer, draws on a wealth of primary sources, including journals, maps, and official reports, to provide a detailed and engaging narrative of the discovery and development of the bay. He discusses the challenges faced by early explorers, including the rugged terrain, harsh climate, and hostile native tribes, as well as the economic and political factors that drove the settlement of the region.Throughout the book, Davidson emphasizes the importance of Humboldt Bay as a natural harbor and gateway to the interior of California, and he describes the various industries that developed around the bay, including fishing, lumber, and agriculture. He also provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural life of the early settlers, including their interactions with the native tribes and their struggles to establish a cohesive community in a remote and challenging environment.Overall, ""The Discovery of Humboldt Bay, California"" is a rich and informative account of a pivotal period in California history, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the exploration and settlement of new frontiers.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

March 16th, 1915.-After serving for five months as a lieutenant in what was at first known as the 1st Highland Field Ambulance, and afterwards, as the 89th Field Ambulance, I left Coventry, our last station, to do my little bit in the great European War, our destination being unknown. We had heard well-founded rumours that we were going to the Dardanelles, or somewhere in the Levant, and our being deprived of our horses and receiving mules instead, and helmets (presumably cork) being ordered for the officers, all pointed to our being sent to a warmer climate than France or Belgium, where the war is raging on the west side of the great drama. Leaving Coventry at 1.50 p.m. we reached Avonmouth about 5, to find that our boat was not in. The men were put up in a cold, draughty shed for the night, where they had little sleep, while the officers took train to Bristol, nine miles off, where we dined excellently at the Royal Hotel, but, there being no vacant rooms, we went to the St. Vincent's Rocks Hotel, overlooking the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the great gorge of the Avon.

A wonderful gift, here are more than 100 pages of photographs of animals, wild and domestic, each accompanied by quotations by insightful observers ranging from Mahatma Gandhi to Stephen King, Fyodor Dostoyevsky to William Shatner, Isaac Bashevas Singer to Farley Mowat.
