Bancroft, Hubert Howe History of the Pacific States of North America, Volume II. Central America. Vol. II. 1530-1800
San Francisco A. L. Bancroft & Company 1883 Hardcover Good
Xvi, 706 pages, cloth, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. Vol. II only. From the preface: During the year 1875 I published under title of The Native Races of the Pacific States what purports to be an exhaustive research into the character and customs of the aboriginal inhabitants of the western portion of North America at the time they were first seen by their subduers. The present work is a history of the same territory from the coming of the Europeans. " Hubert Howe Bancroft, 1832-1918, American publisher and historian, b. Granville, Ohio. Bancroft began his career as a bookseller in San Francisco in 1852. Soon he had his own firm, the largest book and stationery business W of Chicago. He also developed a passion for collecting materials on the western regions of North and South America, from Alaska to Patagonia. After toying with the idea of compiling an encyclopedia, he settled on the publication of a prodigious history (39 vol. , 1874-90) , reissued (1882-90) as The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft. The Works cover the history and to some extent the anthropology of Central America, Mexico, and the Far West of the United States. The first 5 volumes concern the native races, the next 28 the Pacific states, and the last 6 are essays. Literary Industries, the 39th volume, contains autobiographical material and an account of Bancroft's historical method. About a dozen assistants-out of hundreds Bancroft had tried out in his "history factory"-did the actual writing of the Works; Bancroft personally wrote very little. Because his assistants were not given credit lines and because of Bancroft's rather unethical business practices, Bancroft and the Works were at first severely attacked. However, his enormous contribution soon received just recognition. When Bancroft presented his library to the Univ. Of California (1905) it contained about 60,000 items, including rare manuscripts, maps, books, pamphlets, transcripts of archives made by his staff, and personal narratives of early pioneers as recorded by his reporters. Known as the Bancroft Library, the collection remains an outstanding repository of the history of the West. ; Ex-Library

BANCROFT, HUBERT HOWE The New Pacific.
New York Bancroft Company 1915 Hard Cover Very Good
Viii,[2],549 pages, maps, cloth, very good. From the Preface to the Present Edition: "The occupation of the Pacific by the world's foremost civilization will prove the most absorbing problem of the coming centuries. The wealth of the Pacific, for the most part lightly held by inferior peoples, invites the presence of the strong and dominant. The great ocean has waited long for fit occupancy and ownership. This was well that the best results might ensue. Many centuries must elapse before a crude culture planted in aboriginal regions can attain to a front rank; wherefore a transplanted civilization of a higher order were better here, and it should be drawn from the purest sources."
