Excerpt from Broderick and Gwin: The Most Extraordinary Contest for a Seat in the Senate of the United States Ever Known, A Brief History of Early Politics in California, Sketches of Prominent Actors in the ScenesAn inconsiderable portion of the contents of this volume has already been placed before the public in serial form in the columns of a leading city journal, and the favor with which the subject-matter was received in that imper feet and incomplete manner of presentation has prompted the publication of this much-extended and more-satisfac tory history of that extraordinary political struggle - so long-protracted, so embittered in its partisan character, and so fraught with the fate of the most conspicuous of the two powerful leaders of the respective factions of the great party to which each belonged, which then shaped and has ever since molded and controlled, in greater or less degree, the organization and the destiny of political parties and partisan contests in California. The chief merit claimed for the work is its fidelity to material facts and the general accuracy of the narrative in every im portant particular, and this claim has ample support and strong indorsement from the large number of those who bore either more or less prominent part in, or were cogui zant of. The memorable strife. The most interesting and the most weighty details of the whole struggle, but espe cially appertaining to its remarkable close, which were entirely omitted from the serial publication, are adequate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
