A school was quickly established; mechanics of different kinds came down to Anaheim to work for wages; and the colonists in fact gathered about them at once many conveniences which, if they had settled singly, they could not have commanded for some years. They were still poor, however. But few of them were able even to build the slight house needed in that climate without running into debt.
The men of Anaheim were originally a very common class of mechanics; they have stepped up to a higher plane of life they are masters of their own lives. This result namely, the training of families in the hardier virtues, their elevation to a higher moral as well as physical standard is certainly not to be overlooked by any thoughtful man. Vineland. Vineland was not a co-operative enterprise.
"We had music and dancing in those days; and, though we were very poor, I look back to those times as the happiest in all our lives," said one man to me. And they gradually got out of debt. Not one failed. The sheriff has never sold out any one in Anaheim; and only one of the original settlers had left the place when I saw it in 1872. They have no destitute people.
The first colony formed was that of Anaheim; then followed Westminster, Riverside, Pasadena, and many others, and by that time people began to come into southern California in large numbers. The overland journey was much longer, then than now, but quite as pleasant.
In the Napa and Sonoma valleys, in the foot-hills of the Sierra, at Anaheim and elsewhere in the southern country, you may find many men cultivating the grape and making wine in all soberness.
And in her little room Em sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the wall through blinding tears. "I wish I had it all to do over again," she said. "I'd do it all even if I knew for Ben!" We were sojourning between Anaheim and the sea. There was a sunshiny dullness about the place, like the smiles of a vapid woman.
We passed through beautiful and enterprising Santa Ana, through miles upon miles of walnut, orange and other fruit groves, through a solid settlement extending far on each side of the road, to Anaheim. And still on through more walnut and orange groves, more wealth-producing crops.
Nor could I help noticing, when I was at Anaheim, that the experience and training which men gain in carrying to success no matter through what struggles of poverty, self-denial, and debt such an enterprise, has an admirable effect on their characters.
