Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early Sentiment for the Annexation of California: An Account of the Growth of American Interest in California From 1835 to 1846
Inevitably, in the treatment Of a subject involving so many details, mistakes have arisen and faults can readily be pointed out. Yet I believe the account to be accurate in the main, and trust that it will shed some new light on a. Most interesting and important phase Of westward expansion. Wherever possible I have gotten my material from manuscript sources, finding the official documents on file in the State Department; the Polk, Jackson, and Van Buren correspondence in the Library of Con gress; and the Larkin correspondence in the Bancroft Collection Of the University of California especially rich in this regard.
Frequent use has also been made of contemporary writings Of the time, whether in book, magazine, Or newspaper form. These have been indicated by references throughout the text, as have also the considerable number Of secondary authorities and government publications upon which I have been privileged to draw.
