James Jr. was known locally as the CEO of Red Owl Food Store chain and was also a noted conservationist. His "Grandmother Heffelfinger" was the wife of Christopher B.

After a brief appointment as a relief agent in the United States Sanitary Commission in 1864 he re-enlisted in April 1865 and was appointed a major in the First Minnesota Regiment of Heavy Artillery. Heffelfinger died in 1915 while this book was about to go to press although he did read through the manuscript and made suggestions "which have been adopted in the text as it now appears." Searles Taylor Heffelfinger and two others also deceased were the members of the "Coville Commission" who had charge of the preparation of this history. <br/><br/> Easton & Masterman, printers hardcover books

Bound in blue cloth; no dust jacket. Light bumping to upper corners stamp of Da Capo Press on rear endpaper else fine. From the Introduction: "We cannot understand the Committee of Vigilance until we understand the failure of the courts to punish crime and the consequent survival of the resort to popular tribunals. Nor can we discern the initial need of such popular tribunals and their recognized place in the life of 1848 and 1849 until we realize the extraordinary problems that developed when a hundred thousand gold seekers swarmed into a mining region that was destitute of any form of civil government. For an explanation of this strange lack of the ordinary bulwarks of American society we must look still deeper into the unusual status of California while it was held as a military possession during the war with Mexico and.we must appreciate how these years of uncontrolled tumultous life developed in the men of California an enormous self-reliance."
