“This volume on the ships to California from 1848 to 1869 evolved from a study of the propaganda hand stamps used by the steamship companies on the letters carried by their vessels ... To complete the study it — seemed advisable to bring in, at least in a minor way, the other agencies that eventually released the then far-off Pacific coast from its isola- tion.”—Foreword.
