2010794952010. Small group of five books of yellow pages for the gay and lesbian community in Southern California. The Gay and Lesbian Community Yellow Pages were published between 1981 to 2016 by a series of owners.<br /> <br /> In 2000 the yellow pages came under the new ownership of publisher Irene Williams who wrote in an introduction to the telephone book “We would like to take a moment to remind you of the power that the G.L.B.T. ‘family’ has in the use of the mighty dollar…this community is a huge consumer market. Let’s support each other.†The Community Yellow Pages was founded by Jeanne Cordova 1948-2016 in 1981. She was a trailblazer in the lesbian and gay rights movement and founder of The Lesbian Tide the first national lesbian newspaper which ceased publication in 1980. In 2005 the publication of the yellow pages was taken over by Frontiers publishers of Southern California's oldest and largest LGBTQ magazine. The size of the yellow pages began to shrink likely as more people turned to the Internet for information. After 2010-2011 the publication moved to an online only model before Frontiers ceased operations in 2016 after suffering for several years through new controversial ownership that attempted to expand the readership to heterosexual men and filing for bankruptcy in 2013.<br /> <br /> This group includes the 2001 2003 2005-2006 2006-2007 and 2010-2011 editions.<br /> <br /> These gay yellow pages play an important role in understanding the history of the LGBTQ community and provide a unique perspective on socio-economics issues. Several advertisers declared they were gay owned and operated while others provided services unique to the community such as medical personnel offering AIDS support services. Among the biggest advertises at the front of the books were always lawyers. In the early 2000s adds included language about avoiding jail for sex crimes and lewd conduct. This language was absent just a few years later.<br /> <br /> The books are overall in very good or better condition with some occasional light wear. unknown

1865List2438Camp Low 1865. Original partially printed document 26cm x 77cm. Printed on both sides of the sheet completed in manuscript. Darkening at folds from old tape repairs; partial splits to folds and extremities; complete and quite Good. Docketed verso signed in ink by Lieutenant Morgan Owen. Lists twelve enlisted soldiers most with Spanish surnames two with French surnames. Fine. The formation of the California Native Cavalry in 1863 marked a significant chapter in the state's history. Comprising primarily Mexican-American individuals colloquially referred to as "native" Californians the California Native Cavalry unit was formed 1863. Initially commanded by Maj. Andreas Pico a distinguished hero from the Mexican-American War and later under Salvador Vallejo the regiment drew its ranks from diverse backgrounds. Recruitment efforts began with vaqueros from southern California expanding to include individuals from San José and San Francisco. The unit boasted a varied composition encompassing not only Mexican-Americans but also Chilenos California and Yaqui Indians and even French legionnaires.<br /> Company "B" a contingent largely recruited from the northern part of the state is reflected in the existing muster roll. The company assembled at Camp Low near San Juan Bautista in 1865 making a striking entrance into the town. Described as "gay and gallant Spanish lancaroes" the cavalrymen presented a formidable sight with lances in hand and flags flying leaving a lasting impression on the townspeople who had never before encountered soldiers."The gay and gallant Spanish lancaroes sic came dashing through the town with the lances in their hand a flag flying from each of them. I assure you that they presented a war like appearance the people here had never seen a soldier in their lives – Yes Sir!." letter Maj. Michael O'Brien to Gov. Frederick Low January 1865; quoted in Prezelski "Lives of the Californio Lancers: the First Battalion of Native California Cavalry" in Journal of Arizona History v.40 no.1 Spring 1999. <br /> Under the command of Capt. Porfirio Jimeno Company B swiftly engaged in a critical mission: dismantling the notorious Mason-Henry Gang that had terrorized the San Juan region in the preceding months. Despite successfully wounding John Mason in early April 1865 the gang persisted for another month until Mason met his demise at the hands of a miner he sought to kidnap.<br /> However Company B faced challenges including low morale and a high rate of desertions with over 40 men leaving the company in 1865 alone. Transferred to Tubac Arizona Territory to confront the Apaches the company encountered further desertions along the way. The muster roll listing only twelve soldiers alongside Capt. Porfirio Jimeno reflects this tumultuous period. Overall the muster roll provides scarce documentation of the role of Mexican-Americans in the Civil War with few other examples in the trade or institutionally. unknown

The album situates the family at several Santa Ana addresses including W 4th Street and E 1st Street the latter appearing on a 1927 Masonic membership card from the University of Mexico; commercial signage also suggests an address on Bristol Street.<br /> <br /> The earlier photos from the 1920s and 30s show children and family playing and posing in front and back yards beach trips and two formal baby shots real photo postcards; two men pose in sombreros and stylish young ladies pose with a car in front of the house.

Photos are occasionally captioned in Spanish on the verso giving names and relations.<br /> <br /> The 1943 letter included in the album is from a fellow Coast Guardsman “Andrés†to his girlfriend Celia Sifuentes one of the family's daughters. Andrés mentions translated passing “the famous exams . without incident†and how much he enjoys spending time with Sifuentes’ family: “I wish my parents had the harmony that exists in your home.†According to the National Parks Service some 500000 Mexican Americans served in World War II while at the same time facing anti-Mexican and anti-Latine sentiment at home.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Mexican American and Southern California regional history in the interwar era. unknown

191413005Various locations in Nevada California and British Columbia 1914. 19 leaves illustrated with 176 photographs a combination of albumens cyanotypes silver gelatin and printing out paper images most with penciled captions on the album leaves plus relevant newspaper clippings to first and last leaves and a folder of original drawings letters manuscript poetry and additional newspaper clippings laid in. Oblong folio. Contemporary black pebbled cloth spine bound with two screw posts. Minor wear and dust soiling to covers edges and corners worn. Very good. An extraordinary annotated vernacular photograph album memorializing the career of legendary mining manager Frank Robbins 1856-1914. The compiler of the album was likely Robbins' son George C. Robbins who followed his father into the mining and geology fields. Frank Robbins was born in Portland Oregon in 1856. He studied science at Upper Canada College before first practicing his profession at the celebrated mining camp at Eureka Nevada where he apprenticed to prominent mining and metallurgical engineer Max Moeller. He became partners with Moeller before managing the famous lead mine at Eureka then mining camps at Leadville Colorado; various locations in southern California and northern Mexico; and Hells Canyon New Mexico and two notable mining concerns in British Columbia. He served in various advisory positions including a term as president of the British Columbia Mine Owners Association before moving to Los Angeles in 1902. The newspaper clippings in the album provide further biographical details on Robbins' life and career.<br /> <br /> The album is not presented in chronological order with the photographs beginning with two of Robbins' last managerial stints at the North Star Mine in Kimberley East Kootenay British Columbia and the Brooklyn Mine in Phoenix B.C. The North Star images include several shots of the mining campgrounds the assay office and some of the miners. The Phoenix Mine is presented in several cyanotypes and other photos showing the grounds and buildings from various angles as well as a few shots of Robbin's son Tom Robbins who died of typhoid fever at age twenty at the Phoenix mine camp. The next series of over twenty photographs emanate from the Jacalitos geological formation in southern California and are interspersed with shots of Robbins' family residences at San Diego and some images of the mining camp at Leadville Colorado. The Jacalitos images also include shots taken at Tijuana and Carrissa Valley. These are followed by about twenty images of Robbins and others with their drywasher and other scenes in the Goler Mining District in the Mojave Desert near Randsburg California.<br /> <br /> The next series of twenty photographs capture Robbins traveling to and exploring Cedros Island in Baja California. As with other series in the album several other people are identified in the captions in this section providing important details on Robbins' crew at each stop of his career. These images are followed by a series of over thirty images from Julian San Diego County and Deer Park California. A handful of these images feature mining-related buildings but most of the photos in this section show Robbins and his family and friends. The album concludes with a series of six images from the Hells Canyon Mining District in New Mexico. The images showing Robbins' various mining camps are sometimes interspersed with numerous shots of his family capturing group shots family scenes while traveling exterior and interior scenes of their residences and so forth. A couple of images capture indigenous peoples in the various places Robbins visited "Indians at Needles Calif.".<br /> <br /> The photographs and newspaper clippings in the album are accompanied by a folder containing numerous original materials that were probably intended to be mounted in the album but the compiler ran out of room. These items include thirteen illustrations in ink. All of these were likely executed by Frank Robbins himself as one is a self portrait signed by him. The other illustrations are largely comic or satirical scenes of travels and voyages and early California with one scene seeming to lampoon religious intrusion on Robbins' North Star Mine showing two nuns pushing a mine cart full of "glittering ore" with the mine cart labeled "Souvenir d' Etoile de Nord 1901." The folder also includes a few letters sent home by Robbins and two manuscript poems by him from a mining camp in 1897. Amongst these items is a letter from George Robbins Frank's son docketed on the verso as "George's first letter Sep. 20 1886." George was probably the compiler of the present album as the last page is mostly taken up with newspaper clippings of his professional activities as assayer and chemist namely as manager of the Jay Gould Mine in the Chewelah Mining District in Washington. Altogether the album and laid-in folder constitute a unique record of the life and career of one of the American West's most prominent mining engineers of the late-19th century. unknown

1938List2978San Quentin California 1938. Single 6 ½ x 8 ½ inch photograph caption affixed verso and marked verso “CALIF - STATE - PRISON SAN QUENTIN CALIFâ€. Folded at middle marginal wrinkling and small tears; fine contrast very good to excellent. A press photograph looking into the gas chamber at San Quentin Prison taken following the execution of Albert Kessel 1909–1938 and Robert Lee Cannon 1908–1938. The pair were the first to be executed at San Quentin using that method; they were two of five men executed for their role in an attempted escape from Folsom Prison that caused the death of warden Clarence Larkin and a guard. The photo’s caption reads in part:<br /> <br /> “Into these two black chairs Albert Kessel and Robert Lee Cannon were strapped today in the state’s first execution with use of lethal gas. A few seconds later the door was shut and made airtight; witnesses lined around the window and then the deadly cyanide eggs released.â€<br /> <br /> In 1994 the use of cyanide gas was ruled cruel and unusual and banned in California to be replaced by lethal injection; in 2006 a court order halted capital punishment in the state altogether though it is still legal. unknown
