1893 CALIFORNIA 1^ed Political Conventions Republican WHIGS Democrats Gold Rush

Winfield Scott’s “History of Political Conventions in California” is one of the best and most authoritative records of early California politics and government. Because of all of the gold hunters immigrating to California, new political conventions were needed to accommodate the new Californians. In 1849, the first mass political meeting in the state was held in San Francisco which discussed elections and conventions of each of the major political parties. This event, along with each of the conventions through 1892, is described in this fine 1893 first edition.

Appended are biographical sketches of the governors and a register of the officers of the state of California from 1849 to 1892.
