Excerpt from Address on the History of California, From the Discovery of the Country to the Year 1849: Delivered Before the Society of California Pioneers, at Their Celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of the Admission of the State of California Into the Union

Wan and emaciated from the door of the tent or cabin where you saw him expire bloody and mangled from the gam bling saloon where you saw him murdered, or the roadside where you found him lying the corpse you bore to the woods and buried him beneath the trees. But vou cannot tell today which pine sings the requiem of the Pioneer.
And some have fallen in battle beneath our Country's flag.
