Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Fine. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. Black lettering printed on front cover. 6" x 9 1/4." Nineteen pages (Pages 123-139), complete. One black-and-white frontispiece illustration, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning. Covers are virtua…lly pristine and intact except for light age toning and slight wear to extremities. A Fine copy. Part II of a series published by the Academy of Pacific Coast History featuring the printed text of papers dating to 1851 belonging to the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. Except for the frontispiece (which shows a facsimile of the Committee document featured in this pamphlet), there are no facsimile images of the Committee's papers. Part II features a "List of Names Approved by the Committee on Qualification" for 1851 from the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The names are those of people approved to be members of the Committee. The San Francisco Committee of Vigilance was founded in 1851 as a vigilante militia group who took the law into their own hands after they claimed that elected officials and law enforcement were negligent in keeping the city of San Francisco safe and punishing criminals. The Committee arrested, interrogated, and incarcerated suspects without due process of the law and even executed alleged criminals and forced some elected officials to resign. The Committee formally dissolved that same year in 1851, but members continued to meet into 1853. The Committee made a reappearance in 1856 after the murder of journalist James King by a corrupt politician. The 1856 Committee had about 6,000 members, a significant increase from the about 700 who were part of the 1851 Committee. While the 1851 Committee was primarily concerned with civil crimes, the 1856 Committee sought to punish civil crimes as well as political corruption. The 1856 Committee dissolved the same year of its formation like the first one did but continued its influence in San Francisco when its political party, the People's Party, came to power and controlled the city until 1867. The People's Party eventually became a part of the Republican Party.

Add to basketunknown_binding. Condition: Very Good. Univ. of California, Berkeley Press [Published Date: 1911] Publications of the Academy of Pacific Coast History, Vol. 2, No. 2. Pamphlet, 19 pp. In very good condition. Brown paper pamphlet has light bumping and fading around the edges. Binding tight (staple bound). Pages clean and unmarked…. NOT ex-library. Includes a facsimile copy of one page from the list. The Committee of Vigilance of San Francisco was an organization formed by citizens to administer justice, operating separately from the government. The first committee was formed in 1851 to protect the citizens of San Francisco from the "organized band of villains who are determined to destroy the city," as a newspaper of the time claimed. Sam Brannan was the leader of the first Committee of Vigilance. This militia group included its own "law-enforcement" force, and its justice system - parallel to the State one - used trials and punishments that included lynching, whipping, and deportation. This Volume (II) includes the "List of Names Approved by the Committee on Qualification." [From Introduction] The manuscript consists of sixteen pages, 7 7/8 x 12 5/8 inches, forming part of a book the remainder of which is blank. . . The book is bound in paper-covered boards and has on the front cover a printed label bearing the words, Committee of vigilance. . . In the original, the names of the persons approved by the Committee on Qualification and those of the proposers are, on some pages, divided by a rule made with a pen; on other pages, the rule is made with a pencil, and on still others, it is omitted. In rendering the document into print, the signatures appended to the Constitution and the transcribed list designated Book of Names have been used for purposes of comparison. The names of persons approved by the Committee on Qualification, that appear in those documents - which circumstance declares their owners to have been regularly enrolled as members of the Committee of Vigilance - have been printed in italics, and the numbers that were assigned to them for purposes of identification are supplied in brackets.
