Ea. “La California” - 1905 Day-Book | Page last modified: |
This is the 17th diary that has survived the years, however, it has suffered from damp – many pages are stained on their lower quarter.
English-Spanish: The entries in this diary have various authors, sometimes a combination of authors, each contributing a part in the language (or combination of languages) of his choice.
Background: The background image is John Schreiber’s lithograph of “La California”, which he drew in 1878.
Reference Pages: To aid the reader with Spanglish terminology, unfamiliar names (people & places), and old measures (weights, distances, currencies, etc.) we have provided a set of: Reference Pages. We recommend you have these available — they will open in a second window or tab.
