History
I did not intend to write more of ihe'to
pogtaphy of the county, but I failed in my
formerlcttcr, to state that all along the wa¬
ter courses there are wide valleys known as
swamp lands, of as alluvial bottom as can
be found anywhere, and along the bed
of tho streams, there are large bedti of fine
grauite, somb of the gtiinUe is bru!:fcn, and
to a certain degree is scrap rock, but there
is a sufficient quantity large enough to he
quarred for all purposes of building and
for making mill stones. Mr Joe Dickson
had a jiair of mill stone^ crisek nifidc of the gran¬
ite in Sweet Water forty-two years
ago, which were equal to the best French
burr. If those stones have been kgpt in
constaut use aud proper care taken of em
I dare say will that,they be been are that doing Crawford ^god service has
now: It which a
source oi wealth in this granite, will
be developed some day and will be ol great
value. Crawford’s people have never learn¬
ed yet how many resources they have con¬
tained within hei borders. Every agricjil
tured product, and all kinds of fruit, of tlie
temperate zone, come t<> great perfection
in that section not only in Crawford but
in all the adjoining ^counties. Ceres and
Pomona both took this section for their
garden spot. . The finest peaches apples and the
most highiy’flavored that l have
ever seen were growu in that section of
country and this was done with but little
care. Th'e smallct fruits all do well there.
The most favored portion of California,
cannot produce a superior grape, Thete
is no county bettor edified to the culture
of the grape, than Crawford. The wild
grape covers the fence row aud in the Fall
season tbo grape ripens aud'Jangs blue
clusters, aud the vine often climbing the
trees and loading them with delicious
from which a very superior wine can be
made. The finest native wine I ever saw
was nando; fr*m tl»o wild grape by press¬
ing the juice out in a cider press. Tfic do¬
mestic grape will do well there if planted
aud trellis made lor the vine. What
would be the result if the vine wfe given
proper care, There is oo better California
than Crawford county if the people would
only utllze what they have at thir hands.
In writing this letter I propose touching
on all subjects and matters pertaining to
the county and which which transpired during
the period of I write. People began
to settle down and build themselves com
fortable homes, and began to take pride in
their homes and the welfare of the county
received consideration, but it v as a long
time before good substantial society Was
found upon a solid basis. The people as a
general thing were honest,, and to.a certain
degree law abiding, but they were made
up of about as much pure *‘ciiSBedness” as
any people who ever settled up a new
country. ,„Indeed many were good-and |*i

Was this wrong? It certainly- was, and
from the present wfcy of thinking, it was
a terrible crime. To feed and encourage
.
an appetite, and itidtiee the formation of a
habit that if persisted in roust eventually
destroy the soul and Vnidy of opes own off¬
spring. Seems to us in this.diiy being as
near committing the unpardonable sin as
could bo. It was not considered a crimes
iu those days but very proper. It was
just such an element and atmosphere that
the generation to irhicli this writer belongs
were brought to manhood and : . to add. to
this theie were many otlier sins which if
not so dangerous were equally as had and
damning in tendency. Ho# it is that any
came forth and made respectable citizens
can only be accounted for by the over
reaching mercy of God’s intervening’and
the works of the devil.
I am Writing a true historical sketch
whilo all did not do as bad as this large
number did, it may he of value to compare
the present time with that time, and note
the contrast and see if the comparison is
not very much in fitvor of the present
time. ... ,
I will now write of other matters whicji
would be well to compare with the present.
If the comparison Is drawn it will appear
that tho world so far as this section is con
cerned is growifag better and vastly better
in many particulars. It is often sakTaiid
frequently by old personsjf.iat the world
is growing ivoree every day, the people arc
more wicked and the tendency is from re¬
ligion and from piety and God. I will
be pardoned for my digression when I say
that in my opinion the world is better to¬
day than it was yesterday and,that it will
be belter tomorrow than it is today. The
facts bear me out in this assertion. Let a
section of couuiry or city be stricken with
any great calamity and the wbol
responds at puce to the distress call.
Christian love is knowp to abound evory
where the Christian work is well organix
ed «*! the car te open to tho call <5fdis
tress, the heart is ready to respond, the
hand is lavish in ^ifts.
It jn the _
wos bo time of which 1 write
while some effort was made to reldivc ,dis
Ires s, all jt this amounted to almost nothing, Does
not indicate that the world is grow
ietter? At the same time of whioh I write
mental culture in that section received but
ittle consideration as it was regarded as a
minor requisite but physioat powers were
of much more value in tl)e estimation of s
lage mojority than mental powers.
If a man could out jump out run, throw
down, considered and whip moat any body he w;<s
tho lion of the day. To be the
best man in tlie county inclnded ail thoec
very desirable accomplishments. A man
was sufficiently educated, if he coyld read
and writo and understood the asthmatic
as far athe single rule of three, in Smiley’s
rtrithmatic, and if ho wrote a uico round
hand he was highlj accomplished though
his dictionary an :Torthography were lack¬
ing, in every respect. What has been the
change in tin's - respect? Now mental
training and physical mental powers stand high oil
the plaio, powers many (jegreea
lower. It is not now as it tf$ tlieii.
