Lowe (1828-1894), an American politician who served as the 9th Governor of California from 1863-1867. Lowe also served as a United States Representative from California from 1862-1863 and U.S. Minister to China from 1869-1873. The first part contains a manuscript that was dictated by Low to a writer who transcribed his thoughts. In this manuscript, Low includes an autobiographical account of some parts of his life and brief history of early California. The other part contains an interview between Low and Hubert Howe Bancroft (1832-1918), an American historian and ethnologist. In this interview, Low briefly discusses his career as a banker and some of his opinions about other politicians. Bancroft asks Low about pressing subjects of the time including the monopoly of the Central-South Pacific Railroad and Chinese immigration. Low voices his concern for the "avariciousness" of some of the railroad magnates but also concludes that he cannot speak to the allegations of corruption leveled against the railroad monopoly in California. Low appears to have contradictory beliefs regarding Chinese immigration. On the one hand, he argues that Chinese people are too different from white Americans and that they cannot assimilate into American society. However, after Bancroft notes the double standard of allowing different European ethnicities to immigrate the U.S., Low also says that the U.S. should not be walled off as China was to other countries and that he is against rigid restrictions on Chinese immigration. Edited with a Preface and notes by Robert H. Becker.
