This is a beautiful book containing a reprint of Edward C. Kemble's A History of California Newspapers, 1846-1858. Edward C. Kemble (1828-1886) was an American newspaper editor and printer and journalist. Originally from Troy, New York, Kemble embarked on the journey around Cape Horn to California in 1846 via ship. After landing in California, he played a significant role in the operations of several early California newspapers such as the California Star, Alta California, California Call, and Sacramento Union. While the history of California newspapers was still in its nascent years at the time, Kemble felt compelled to write a history of the subject. His History of California Newspapers made its debut in the December 25, 1858 issue of the Sacramento Union. Edited with a Foreword by Helen Harding Bretnor. Back colophon: "This is one of 50 copies, numbered and signed, printed on Ticonderoga text, extra-illustrated with facsimile reproductions of eight early California newspapers, specially bound with black morocco leather and marbled papers. This is copy number 19, Helen Harding Bretnor [signature].".
