Ea. “La California” - 1906 Day-Book | Page last modified: |
|
This is the 18th diary that has survived the years, however, it has suffered from damp – the cover is stained and many pages have come loose.
Spanish: All entries, except the few entries in April, are written entirely in Spanish. The entries in this diary are much more detailed than in preceding diaries. A record was made of all the employees and what they did each day.
Background: The background image is John Schreiber’s lithograph of “La California”, which he drew in 1878.
Reference Pages: To aid the reader with Spanglish terminology, unfamiliar names (people & places), and old measures (weights, distances, currencies, etc.) we have provided a set of: Reference Pages. We recommend you have these available — they will open in a second window or tab.
