Where it came from
Published in 1957, this work by Stanton Arthur Coblentz examines the volatile period of 1850s San Francisco, specifically focusing on the 1856 assassination of newspaper editor James King of William and the subsequent rise of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. Coblentz, a prolific poet and historian, sought to narrate the social upheaval and the tension between formal legal processes and extrajudicial frontier justice.
The volume serves as a historical analysis of how the murder of a crusading journalist acted as a catalyst for a paramilitary group to seize control of the city. Coblentz utilizes the figure of King to frame broader questions about democracy and law enforcement in a developing state. The inclusion of contemporary portraits and plates provides a visual record of the key players involved in this chapter of California history, reflecting the author’s attempt to synthesize scholarly research with a compelling narrative style.
