Excerpt from Pioneers of El Dorado It has not been my intention to sketch the lives of all of El Dorado county's pioneers, but rather to give, in the form of a few representative biographies, those events in our county's annals which are most worthy of being preserved as history, together with such anecdotes, both comic and pathetic, which would best serve to indicate what manner of people the early Californians were. Necessarily, in a book of this description, much has been written that may shock the over-fastidious. But history is a chronicle of vital events, and as such must depict both the evil and the good. It must be remembered that the early settlers of California were a most conglomerate mass of humanity, representing every grade of refinement and of vulgarity, and the true narrative of such a people, or, in fact, of any real life, cannot be expected to resemble an Elsie Dinsmore Sunday-school story.
