Autobiography & Reminiscence of Charles Proctor Kimball, San Francisco, 1901. The Society of California Pioneers
Charles P. Kimball was a pioneer who moved to San Francisco in 1849 and became a member of the Vigilance Committee, The Society of California Pioneers, the Mechanics' Institute, and Yerba Buena Lodge, No. 15, I.O.O.F.. He was also the owner of "The Noisy Carrier Book and Stationery Co." and publisher of the first San Francisco Directory in 1850
Autobiographies and Reminiscences of California Pioneers, Charles Proctor Kimball, p. 22-23, Vol.2. This is a typed transcript, bound into a volume, of the member's autobiographical reminiscence created as an institutional record for the Society of California Pioneers. The original handwritten version exists in the member's Biographical File. This reminiscence includes a reference to a photograph of the member in a set of bound volumes. It appears that the photographs in this set were dispersed throughout the regular photography collection, but the photographs referenced in the related materials may or may not be these same photographs. This brief reminiscence discusses whether the "Journal of Commerce" or the "Alta California" was the first to be published.
