1850s San Francisco James King of William Bank Check Eagle and California Seal Illustrated
unused with fold at receipt tab at left. After the demise of this Banking House in the local panic of 1854-5, James King of William began publication of the Evening Bulletin, in which he excoriated politicians, lawyers and judges as well as institutions whose action he found responsible of local corruption. His vigorous muckraking led him to call a county supervisor, James P. Casey, crooked and to reveal that Casey was an ex-convict. When the infuriated Casey could not get a retraction, he openly shot down James King of William on the street. King of William, who had been on the executive committee of the first Vigilance Committee (1851), was by death responsible for bringing a second such committee into being. It tried Casey and executed him at the very hour King of William was being buried.

Mother of The Forest Calaveras California Big Tree Photo Stereoview by Bayrd and Goldstein
Cleveland Ohio, some wear at edges of yellow mount. Mother of the forest was a giant sequoia in the Sierra Nevada that was stripped of its bark and used as an exhibition tree. Discovered in 1852 by Augustus T. Dowd, it was the second largest tree in Calaveras Grove, standing at 328 feet (100 m) tall with a circumference of 93 feet. Its bark was harvested and exhibited in New York and London. However, the remaining tree was eventually destroyed by fire in 1908, leaving only a fire-blackened snag.
