And Archibald arranged to take a company to Europe with 'Forty-Niners. And I was left out! This rattled me, specially after the way he liked my mandolin-playing. So I went to see him about it in his dressing-room one night, and I charged around a bit. He did rattle me! Then I rattled him. I would get an answer out of him.
"That is, if we wouldn't be in your way." "Uncle, I'm crazy to see San Francisco," said Frank. "Well, it's a good deal changed from the days of the Forty-Niners," said Mr. Temple, smiling. "You may have your hopes too high, and may be disappointed." "Oh, come now, father," said Bob. "If you're going to be there only a week, it'll be worth while for us."
The peace of the valley was broken by the influx of the Forty-niners, who stormed its solitudes, and changed the broken trail to a crowded highway echoing with the noises of life. The river yielded up its treasure to their eager hands, fortunes were made, and friendships begun that were to make the history of the new state.
Archibald Florance's "Forty-Niners" and new play by Seven Sachs. I cut that heading out and sent it to the old man in London, and I wrote under it, 'See how far I've got in six months.

That the winter climate of Southern California, not only on the coast, but in the interior, is delightful, is beyond question.

No person was eligible for membership except he had arrived in California before the 1st of January, 1850, and the descendants of Forty-niners when arriving at the age of twenty-one are eligible.
These two were as mad with greed at the thought of the silver mine in the mountains as ever were forty-niners in the golden days of California, or those more recent ignoble martyrs who strewed their bones along the icy trails of the Klondike. "Ye better let me look at 'em Pros," wheedled Pap Himes. "I know a heap about silver ore.
It was the first I had seen since my departure from the same port, except on the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Here ends my personal adventures of the days of the Forty-niners, to be continued by the peroration on California. On my return, in looking over my finances, I was no poorer than when I left.
He was one of the real forty-niners, and knew my grandfather's folks they all came to California the same time.... I've been all over this country, up and down the Coast, to Alasky and over in Nevada, at Carson City; drilling for oil, too, south. Oh, I've seen things," he mused complacently, puffing at his pipe and scratching his bare arms that were as smooth and brown as fine bronze.
I think they were not executed, but banished; but it set up a cry against the colonel that he had taken the part of "The Hounds," so unjust is often, for a time, public sentiment. That was the first vigilance committee; the great one came afterward, but I am confined to the days of the "Forty-niners." It was rumored, at the time, that there was a jealousy between him and Colonel Freemont.
