T.. j. Schoonover of Sacramento has
| issued from the press of d. Johnston 81
Co. OF this city neat little book in blue
muslin and gold, entitled THE Life and
Times Of General John \. Suffer-" 1t is
dedicated to the Native Sons of the
Golden West. IL seems to be a well-told
narrative, and so iar as we can judge 1t Is
| accurate. The diction is simple and clear
and the statements are lucid. 1t Is Il con-
Venlent volume, that puts into few
pages all the record essential TO an under
| standing of the activities and forces oper-
| ating in the early gold discovery days of

form data that has heretofore been very
voluminous and not u little involved. We
think Mr.. SchOOnOVer has done distinct

modest volume. The book is freely illus
trated. 1t is for sale at bookstores for 80
cents.
