Biographical History

Henry Douglas Bacon was a California financier who entered the retail business in St. Louis in 1835 and later joined his wealthy father-in-law in the banking firm of Page & Bacon. In 1849 he and his partners formed Page, Bacon & Co., an express firm in San Francisco, which became primarily a banking concern. The company's failure in 1855 served as a prelude to the San Francisco crash of 1855. Bacon invested in the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, numerous mining ventures, and the Marengo Ranch in Southern California.
