1880WRCAM48335DClaremont N.H.: Published for the subscribers 1880. 22391pp. Half title. 12mo. Publisher's three-quarter brown morocco and cloth boards front cover stamped in gilt spine with raised bands. Light soiling to boards some edge wear. Presentation inscription and bookseller's stamp C. Beach San Francisco on front flyleaf. A few annotations in pencil. Closed tear in inner portion of front flyleaf. Very good. A presentation copy inscribed by Simeon Ide to the editor of THE EVENING BULLETIN on a front fly leaf: "This volume is respectfully inscribed in "Vindication" of a beloved Brother." Also includes a brief pencil correction on page 93 likely in Ide's hand. <br> <br> William Ide emigrated to California in 1845. In 1846 after rumors that the Mexican Republic was going to expel all non-citizens he led a group of settlers in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt after the California Bear Flag raised as they took control of the Sonoma pueblo. Ide was named Commander of the California Republic. Afterwards most of the party joined Lieut. Col. John C. Fremont in seizing California from Mexico. Uriel Crocker was a founder of leading Boston publishers Crocker & Brewster and later sat on the board of several railroad companies including the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad South Pacific Railroad and St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. <br> <br> "This SKETCH contains an account of the early years of W.B. Ide recollections by his daughter of the family's trip across the plains to California in 1845 and an account of the Bear Flag revolt of 1846 as told by Ide to his brother in 1849 and in a letter to a Senator Wambough which as Ide died in 1852 must have been written within a few years of the event. An interesting account of the overland journey of 1845 and important source on the beginnings of American rule in California in 1846." - Streeter. The work is also important in that it is one of the few overland journals written from the point of view of a woman Ide's daughter who in 1845 at age eighteen accompanied her father west and is unique in its exclusive treatment of the Bear Flag Revolt. Howes speculates that this first edition printed by the author at the age of eighty-six on a handpress "was probably small."

Simeon Brown was the most memorable event in the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon's history. Held at the Church in front of the Miami Presbytery Rev. Brown was charged with unsoundness of faith for denying the doctrine of limited atonement. His beliefs which were cited in the charges included those that "Christ gave his life for the world and it is absurd to limit the word world to the elect." The Presbytery found him guilty and Rev. Brown subsequently wrote in his defense that "I maintained that our Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior provided for and sincerely offered in the Gospel to all who hear it but the Presbytery held that He is provided for the elect only." Found guilty of this one charge the sympathy of the public was chiefly with him and the members of his church were mostly on his side. Rev. Brown chose to separate from the Presbyterian Church and the trial led to the formation of the Lebanon Congregational Church.</p> Lebanon, Ohio: Printed at the Western Star Office, 1856. paperback
