CALIFORNIA GUIDE BOOK. THE LANDS OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC AND SOUTHERNPACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANIES. HOMES FOR ALL IN CALIFORNIA, NEVADA AND UTAH.GEOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS. ADVANTAGES FOR SETTLEMENT[wrapper title]. [San Francisco. nd, ca. 1882]. 72,[2]pp., plus nine lithographic plates and folding lithographed map. Original printed salmon wrappers. A fine California promotional pamphlet, produced by the Pacific Coast Land Bureau, agents for the sale of farm lands and the lands of the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads. The main emphasis of the promotion is on the agricultural advantages of California land. The directors of the Bureau note that California has "89,000,000 acres of land suited to profitable husbandry. Of these 40,000,000 are fit for the plow, while the remainder is excellent for stock-raising, fruit growing, and all other branches of agriculture." They go on to note that California contains only four inhabitants per square mile. Most of the text consists of substantial descriptions of California counties, and the rest lauds the suitability of California to the cultivation of specific fruits, grains, and vegetables, including alfalfa, grapes, oranges, apricots, and more. The folding map of California was lithographed by Britton & Rey, and the handsome plates, commissioned specifically for this pamphlet, are the work of Elliott & Company of San Francisco. The plates show a wine cellar in Fresno County and an orange orchard in Southern California (both on one plate); an alfalfa stock ranch in San Diego; a vineyard and orchard; a nut orchard and fruit farm; a bee ranch in Southern California; a dairy and fruit farm; an orange grove; a Fresno vineyard and winery; and a large grain and stock farm in the San Joaquin Valley (the agricultural heart of California). The bee ranch plate is especially interesting, signifying the development of large scale agricultural pollination activities. Two pages cover lands in Nevada and Utah. Cowan notes a similar promotional produced by the Pacific Coast Land Bureau, with no date, covering fewer counties, and with fewer pages and no plates, but does not list the present title. Not in Rocq. OCLC locates a total of four copies: at Yale, the University of California at Berkeley, Stanford, and Claremont College. Rare and very interesting. DECKER 34:166a. COWAN, pp.467-68 (ref). OCLC 25929000,21739716. Description by William Reese Company.
