The Beginnings of Oakland, California, A.U.C.The Beginnings of Oakland, California, A.U.C.

"Oakland, California, now a city of between four and five hundred thousand inhabitants, had an interesting origin. It is the purpose of the present writer to present herewith some of that story. Space will permit only a little part of the great story to be told, but this should be sufficient to motivate that true spirit of appreciation of accomplishment that stems from a knowledge of the past. It may explain, also the reason for some traditions that persist so many decades later."--Page 2.
