Farmer, trapper, first settler of Shasta County, Calif. (1847). After Reading came to California (1843), he worked as a trapper for Captain John A. Sutter (1844-1846) until United States declared war on Mexico. Reading joined California Battalion under John C. Fremont and became its paymaster. Following discovery of gold, Reading found mineral on own lands along Clear Creek and Trinity River. Using his new-found wealth he started a commercial venture in Sacramento (1849) and following year returned east where he paid off his debts from 1837 depression. Reading was unsuccessful Whig candidate for Governor (1851). He went east for hearings on his land grant (1854). While there he met and married Fanny Wallace Washington. They returned to Shasta County, where Reading invested in steam navigation schemes, grew wheat, fruit trees and cattle until his death (1868). Account of Reading's life based in part upon his overland journal (1843) and Mrs. Reading's diary (1861-1862).

Watson Library The Chinese in California, 1850-1925 The Chinese in California 1850-1925 2710 digital library objects (5349 items) The Chinese in California, 1850-1925 illustrates nineteenth and early twentieth century Chinese immigration to California through about 8,000 images and pages of primary source materials. Included are photographs, original art, cartoons and other illustrations; letters, excerpts from diaries, business records, and legal documents; as well as pamphlets, broadsides, speeches, sheet music, and other printed matter. These documents describe the experiences of Chinese immigrants in California, including the nature of inter-ethnic tensions. They also document the specific contributions of Chinese immigrants to commerce and business, architecture and art, agriculture and other industries, and cultural and social life in California. Chinatown in San Francisco receives special treatment as the oldest and largest community of Chinese in the United States. Also included is documentation of smaller Chinese communities throughout California, as well as material reflecting on the experiences of individuals. Although necessarily selective, such a large body of materials presents a full spectrum of representation and opinion. The materials in this online compilation are drawn from collections at The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley; The Ethnic Studies Library, University of California Berkeley; and The California Historical Society, San Francisco.
