WALTER COLTON
One of the most interesting and
valuable accounts of pioneer days
is the diary of Walter Colton—
“Three Years in California.” Ho
arrived' in California ns chaplain on
Stockton’s flagship, “Congress,”
duly 15, 1846. Stockton appointed
him A'lcado of Monterey (justice of
the peace) and left him in chargo.
His account of his life as judge, ar
bitrator and dictator of tlie Califor
nians and descriptions of their life,
the country arid his trip to the gold
fields are most delightful as well
as valuable. Colton was also pub
lisher of the first newspaper in the
