Number 16 in the California Centennial Editions. Colton was the first alcalde of Monterey under American control and one of the founders of the first American newspaper in California. His earlier book - DECK AND PORT; OR, INCIDENTS OF A CRUISE IN THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE CONGRESS - was an interesting narrative of a voyage from Norfolk, Virginia in October of 1845, to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and ending at California about nine months later.
