Gray-embossed softcovers raised dark brown lettering on front cover yapp edges minor creasing & wear minor scuffing minor chipping w/ small loss to foot of spine still VG- copy. First edition of this unusually scarce conservation work detailing the history and steps taken by the Sempervirens Club members and Redwood Park commissioners to preserve the old growth Redwoods of Big Basin in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Sempervirens Park Club supporters had actively campaigned against great opposition by logging companies and industrialists in their quest to save the Calaveras trees so after Laura White assumed the presidency of the Sempervirens in 1902 she enlisted Phoebe Hearst to bankroll the drive to save Big Basin and helped secure State Park Status with bill passed and signed by Governor Gage. An entire chapter is devoted to the “Rape of the Redwoods†in which the group discovered that the California Forester G.B. Lull had ordered logging and destruction of Redwoods still alive despite recent forest fire and only after protests led by George Wharton James and Grand Jury under Holohan stopped the logging and removed the Park from the State Board of Forestry and returned it to the hands of the non-profit Redwood Park Commission. The photographs in the piece are credited to Andrew Putnam Hill 1853-1922 noted San Jose artist & photographer credited with saving the old growth Redwoods; Robert Appleby 1868-1948 Santa Cruz painter school janitor and photographer whose Santa Cruz studio endured through the Great Depression and World War II; and Clark P. Streator 1866-1952 noted ornithologist photographer and owner of Express Wagon company which transported tourists into the Park. See: Sempervirens Club and A.P.

Numerous constitutional provisions printed including the Declaration of Rights Suffrage Education and others. <br /> <br /> "Heavily based on other state constitutions the 1848 California Constitution proved inadequate to meet the long-term needs of the flourishing new state. Political leaders tried to amend the document via constitutional convention and the amendment process; however during the 30 years which followed statehood all three constitutional convention ballot proposals failed to win voter support and of the many constitutional amendments proposed only three became law. Finally in 1877 the state legislature again submitted the question of convening a Constitutional Convention to the voters this time it passed" online Pacificus web site 'A Brief History of the California Constitution'. unknown

80028A pair of pre-women’s suffrage handbills circa 1901 encouraging the mothers of San Pedro California to attend a meeting at the First Presbyterian Church to discuss "business pertaining to our public schools." Both pieces carry the imprint of the San Pedro Times.<br /> <br /> Printed in black on one side of a 5 3/4" x 9" sheet of pink paper the first handbill is addressed to the voters of the San Pedro School District:<br /> <br /> "For the past three years our Public Schools have been unsatisfactory both to parents and teachers. We believe that every parent taxpayer and voter is in duty bound to use every lawful effort to overcome the present indifference and lack of business methods. The parents are confronted with discouraged children and teachers have been handicapped by uncertainties and only an eight months school."<br /> <br /> It also mentions the organizations' nomination of Henry Baly 1853-1930 an English-born banker for school trustee. The handbill was folded in quarters with a bit of toning and wear along the extremities.<br /> <br /> Although women did not yet have the vote the Mothers of San Pedro asserted its influence by officially nominating Baly and calling for at least a nine-month school year. “Reminding you that we as mothers have great interest in the schools we ask for him the support of every voter†the handbill declares.<br /> <br /> Women in California were not granted voting rights until 1911 and nearly a decade later women were granted this right at the federal level with the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In 1893 the California legislature passed a bill extending suffrage to women in school elections. However it was vetoed by Governor Henry Markham.<br /> <br /> The second piece printed in black on one side of a 6" x 9" sheet of standard stock provides details of the meeting and concludes: "Every Mother is urged to be present." Come! Come!" The handbill was folded in quarters with some general toning and bit of minor staining.<br /> <br /> No reference to the Mothers of San Pedro could be readily located. The San Pedro School District which dates to the founding of San Pedro Elementary in 1866 joined the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1909 when the city was annexed. unknown
