Octopus's Garden
Completion of the transcontinental railroads revolutionized commercial agriculture in California. Between 1870 and 1920, the frontier wheat and beef industries spawned by the gold rush swiftly gave way to the numerous specialty crops that would eventually make California America's number-one farm state. In Los Angeles and the surrounding counties of Southern California, this great transformation was ignited by the respective arrivals, in 1876 and…

The California Indian Scalp Bounty Myth
In the often contentious and acrimonious debates over whether the Golden State’s Indigenous peoples were targeted for genocide by white Euro-Americans between 1846 and 1873, inflammatory scalp bounty accusations against the state of California have become a staple of public discourse. California is frequently accused by public leaders, political activists, academic scholars, and others of once having paid cash rewards ranging anywhere from twenty…
A Species of Slavery
On June 6, 1850, amid the epic congressional debates over the extension of slavery into the western territories recently seized from Mexico, the U.S. Senate took up a bold and unanticipated proposal by the antislavery Democrat Isaac P. Walker of Wisconsin. Introduced the day before as an amendment to Henry Clay's controversial “omnibus bill,” Walker's one-sentence addition called for the immediate abolition of what he labeled “peon slavery,” a fo…
Masters, Apprentices, and Kidnappers
Although it was admitted to the Union as a free state in 1850, labor-starved gold-rush California permitted employers to bind Native Americans as unfree leased convicts, minor custodial wards, debt peons, and, between 1860 and 1863, indentured servants or “apprentices.” As a key component of California's elaborate system of unfree Native American labor, Indian apprenticeship flourished for three years until its abolition during the Civil War in t…
Reservations, Removal, and Reform
Best known for her outstanding Helen Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy (1990), Valerie Sherer Mathes ranks among the foremost scholars of U.S. Indian policy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author of some thirty scholarly articles and seven deeply researched books, the prolific Mathes has focused much of her attention on Jackson and other white female “friends of the Indians” like Amelia Stone Quinton, co-foun…
Populism and Imperialism
During its explosive heyday between 1890 and 1896, the radical Populist movement thoroughly disrupted American politics, especially in the rural South and West. Propelled by hard times and the transformative changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution, the Populists demanded sweeping reforms designed to break the power of ascendant corporate monopolies and the compliant Democratic and Republican party politicians who did their bidding. Populist …

An American Genocide
During the twenty-seven years bounded by the Mexican and Modoc wars, invading white Americans ruthlessly conquered the approximately fifty California Indian tribes that had eluded Spanish, Mexican, or Russian domination. Triggered by US annexation and the subsequent gold rush, the final subjugation of Native California resulted in a shocking demographic collapse that slashed the state’s Indian population from an estimated 150,000 in 1845 to a mer…

Free State Slavery
Although it outlawed chattel slavery, antebellum California permitted the virtual enslavement of Native Americans under the 1850 Act for the Government and Protection of Indians. Drawing data from a rare and valuable cache of Indian indenture records at the Colusa County courthouse and interpreting them through the lens of Henry Bailey's candid pioneer memoir, this article offers a detailed case study of bound Native American labor and Indian sla…
