My nephew and his family, who visited over the Labor Day weekend, were here so that the boys might have one last weekend before school. Their school, in Lemmon Valley, Nevada, starts today, September 3. My three grandnephews Steven, Robert, and Michael picked and ate enough pears and blackberries to start them back to school with a stomach ache but they had a grand time doing it. Admission Day, September 9, will be our next and final summer holiday. The recorded history of California goes back four centuries-to September 28, 1542. The Spaniards first set foot on California soil exactly 50 years after. the discovery of America. California received its name before any of the original 13 colonies had been christened. The first known use of the name was in a novel “Las Sergas de Esplan* dian” printed in Seville Spain some time between 1492 and 1504. The first official use was in a Spanish document by Cabrillo on July 2, 1542. The passage from Las Sergas reads ‘‘Know ye that at the right hand of the Indies there is an island called California, very close to that part of the Terrestrial Paradise, which was inhabited by black women-.” The “black women” referred to by Montalvo must have been Indian women. He called their Queen The name California was given to the peninsula of Lower California by Cortez in 1535, and at that time, it was believed to be an island. There is some possibility that Montalvo in his novel Las Sergas was influenced by the latin words calida and fornax, signifying heat and furnace and possibly also by the Indian terms kali forno translated both as high hill and native land, when he named the land California. Our States development featured variety and sharp contrasts and most of it not so ramantic as its name. The early explorations left the Indian pattern of life totally unmodified. of Americans being hedged iri by the Mexicans. On July 7, 1846 Commodore Sloat landed at Monterey and proclaimed California a U.S. Conquest-tho it. was really won -on land. by General Zachary Taylor in 1848. The U.S. Flag was raised over Sonoma on July 9, 1846. The Bear.Flag was adopted as the State Flag by the State Legislature in 1911. The original flag was lost in the earthquake fire of 1906. The Grizzly Bear was designated as the State Animal by the Legislature in 1953. The Grizzly has disappeared from California now but in his day he was particularly strong, and fierce which is the reason he was accorded this honor. California’s State Tree-the California — Redwood-was designated by the Legislature in 1937. There is a State Bird-the California Valley Quail-officially recognized in 1911. The State Flower was adopted in 1903. We are all familiar with California’s Golden Poppy. ~ California is the third largest state in the Union. It has the highest mountain in the U.S.Mount Whitney 14,000 feet-out side of Alaska. There is an official State Song ‘‘I love You California” written by a Los Angeles merchant named F. B. Silverwood and introduced by Mary Garden in 1913. “Believe it or not” there is also a State Fish. Officially adopted by the Legislature in 1947 was the beautiful Sourth Fork Golden Trout. Tho’ ¢alled the Golden State California has no official nickname. State colors are blue and gold adopted by the Legislature in 1951. The first Poet Laureate was designated in 1953., Mr. Gordon Norris. We have a new one now-a. womanbut unfortunately I cannot remember her name. The Governor’s flag is quite beautiful and it bears in the center of its gold fringed dark blue field the official Great Seal of California. The Seal was adopted October 2, 1849 by the Convention which framed the State Constitution. The Seal bears 31 stars around the inside of the ring, indicating the 31 states in the Union, after the admission of California. It also bears the Greek motto Eureka meaning ‘I have found it.” On its face is the Goddess Minerva, the Grizzly Bear, the snow clad peaks of the Sierra Nevada, a miner at work, a bay filled with ‘sailing ships and wheat and grapes symbolic of the state’s greatest enterprise, its agriculture. The Goddess Minerva is there because “she sprang full grown from the brain of Jupiter.” This is to exemplify the state’s political birth. It was admitted to the Union without the usual probationary period. Ironic as it may seem the State Capitol at Sacramento was described very recently as “one of the most beautiful and substantial capitol buildings in the United States.” Hopefully current plans will soon return it to this “substantial” condition. The building was commissioned July 14, 1860. It was first occupied November 26, 1869. The Park it is so beautiful that it enhances the beauty of the Capitol building itself. Through all this confusion, growing pains, and isolation was it any wonder that Rough and Ready felt less than part of things and set up its
