In the early years the members were largely devoted to local hikes to Mt. Tamalpais and such they soon branched out to incorporate the Sierra Nevada mountains. The first "High Trip†was to climb Mount Whitney in 1916 and the group placed the hiker’s register on top. At least 18 more peaks had been climbed and registers placed by CAC members by 1923. Bill Halliday organized many of the trips to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Each of the issues here offered includes a detailed article on the 'Sierra Outing' of that year and is illustrated with numerous photographs. By the 1920s their membership was about 300 thus making this a very impressive journal. Each issue contains numerous articles of interest concerning the mountains of California: e.g. The San Benito Pinnacles by Nanna C. Lininger 1920; California as a Field for the Mountaineer by M. F. Murphy 1920; The Ascent of Kettle Dome by Herman Ulrich 1921; Trouting in the Sierra by M. F. Murphy 1921; Save the Redwoods Movement in California by J. D.

Quarto in white illus jacket; viii, 376 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 25 cm "Isaias Hellman, a Jewish immigrant, arrived in California in 1859 with little money in his pocket and his brother Herman by his side. By the time he died, he had effectively transformed Los Angeles into the modern metropolis we see today. In Frances Dinkelspeil's groundbreaking history, the early days of California are seen through the life of a man who started out as a simple store owner only to become California's premier money man of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Growing up as a young immigrant, Hellman quickly learned the use to which capital could be put, founding Los Angeles's Farmers and Merchants Bank, that city's first successful bank, and transforming Wells Fargo into one of the West's biggest financial institutions. He invested money with Henry Huntington to build trolley lines, lent Edward Doheny the funds that led him to discover California's huge oil reserves, and assisted Harrison Gray Otis in acquiring full ownership of the Los Angeles Times. Hellman led the building of Los Angeles's first synagogue, the Wilshire Boulevard Temple, helped start the University of Southern California, and served as Regent of the University of California. His influence, however, was not limited to Los Angeles. He controlled the California wine industry for almost 20 years, and after San Francisco's devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, calmed the financial markets there in order to help that great city rise from the ashes. With all of these accomplishments, Isaias Hellman almost single-handedly brought California into modernity. - Jacket flap. Traces the life of the savvy capitalist and banking guru whose life reflected the development of modern California, tracing his role in the construction of such organizations as the LA Times, USC, and the Wilshire Boulevard Temple.
