Autobiography and Reminiscence of Charles Proctor Kimball, San Francisco, 1901.

Autobiographies and Reminiscences of California Pioneers, Charles Proctor Kimball, p. 22-23, Vol.2. This is a typed transcript of the member's autobiographical reminiscence created as an institutional record for the Society of California Pioneers. The original handwritten version exists in the member's Biographical File. This reminiscence includes a reference to a photograph of the member in a set of bound volumes. It appears that the photographs in this set were dispersed throughout the regular photography collection, but the photographs referenced in the related materials may or may not be these same photographs. This brief reminiscence discusses whether the "Journal of Commerce" or the "Alta California" was the first to be published.
