March of Industry: California Paperback - 2004
by Robert Glass Cleland; Osgood Hardy
First line
THE ECONOMIC history of California from 1769, when it was first settled by the Spaniards, to the years 1848, when it passed into the hands of the United States, is the history of a land lying on the extreme frontier, almost wholly neglected by the mother country, cut off from all but the most casual contacts with the outside world, and sparsely inhabited by an unambitious, pastoral people who were seemingly so indifferent to all material progress and so unmindful of the vast economic opportunities which surrounded them on every hand, that a famous English traveler who visited the coast in 1841 in a pardonable spirit of irritation could exclaim, "In California nature does everything and man does nothing."
