Transactions of the Society of California Pioneers, Part I, Volume II

This volume contains the transactions of the Society of California Pioneers from January 1 to May 7, 1863. Published in San Francisco, it includes the amended Society Constitution, lists of officers and committees, guest speeches, meeting minutes, and a membership roster. The membership list is of particular interest, as it includes several prominent Jewish individuals in early California, despite their relatively small population percentage. The volume also features the attested signature of Washington Montgomery Bartlett, the only Jewish governor of California, who served as a County Clerk at the time.
