STORY OF FOUNDING
The story of the founding of the
Monterey Californian is interesting.
The American flag had been raised in Monterey by Commodore Sloat
on July 7, 1846, and after the proclamation had been read, it became
Commodore Sloat’s responsibility to
‘appoint a mayor. He looked over the .
Americans who were present and
selected Walter Colton, chaplain of
the USS Congress which had brought .
the Americans to Monterey a short
time before.’
Colton decided the best way to.
make public the various proclama-!
tions, laws and orders, as well as the
He made a partner of Dr. Robert .
Semple, who in addition to being aj
, doctor, lawyer, and dentist was an
accomplished typesetter, editor and
pressman. They uncovered a broken
down press brought to Californa 12
years before by Thomas Shaw a Boston merchant and odds and endg of
tyPe faces.
The first issue of four’ pages,:11

floor. of the Customs House.

» The rest of the front page was deyoted to Commodore Sloat’s pro¢lamation réad a month before, and
the second page contained Spanish

from a New York Herald three
months old, and several local items.

Dr. Semple remained alone as publisher. IIn May 1847, he moved tthe
Californian to San Francisco. It continued as a weekly until December,
1848 when it was absorbed by the
California Star. Colton returned to
the east and apparently dismissed
all thoughts of California. and the
