Subject: [CAContraCosta] H.H. Bancroft interviews of Californion's to be on the Web.
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 15:29:44 -0700 (PDT)

I learned last week that the interviews that H.H.
Bancroft, that he had done of the Californion's, and
that are in the Bancroft Library collection, will be
on the web.

The Bancroft Library, is starting, I repeat THEY ARE
JUST STARTING TO WORK ON THIS. They are planning to
digitalize the copies of the interviews that they have
so that they then can put them on their web site.

I believe this will included the 5 volumes of the
History of California, that General Vallejo, wrote and
then gave to H.H. Bancroft, with the understanding
that they would be published, and they were not. For
most if not all, none of these have been published in
full. They were used in bit and pieces in the
different books that Bancroft published.

So when this happens, it will great to read their side
of the story, for I heard what General Vallejo, sister
felt about the way the man who were in the "Bear Flag
Revolt" behaved, to her and other people. She did not
think very highly of them, actually she felt they were
not much better than savages.

So I it keep you up to date on this project.

George
