Excerpt from The Last Frontier: Part I: The Forty-Niners; Part II: The Passing of the Frontier The dominant people of California have been successively aborigines, conquistadores, monks, the dreamy, romantic, unenergetic peoples of Spai'n, the roaring melange of Forty-nine, and finally the modern citizens, Who are so distinctive that they bid fair to become a subspecies of their own. This modern society has, in its evolution, something unique. To be sure, other countries also have passed through these same phases. But While the processes have consumed a leisurely five hundred years or so elsewhere, here they have been subjected to forced growth.
