Western reminiscences, [ca. 1914].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/214695062

Handwritten reminiscences commence in childhood as a participant in the Fourier Society's Wisconsin "Phalanx" co-operative community. From there are recounted his adventures crossing the plains, details of Indian atrocities, his safe arrival in California and eventual settlement, with his wife, in the Hawaiian Islands. Subsequently recorded are births of two children and, later, the death of the younger, and eventual return to California in 1867. Among notable entries are two encounters with author Samuel Clemens, whose stories were then featured in the "Alta Californian," and an eyewitness account of the 1868 San Francisco earthquake.
