![Life history of George H. Rothrock [microform]: 1924](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Frail.huntington.org%2FIIIF3%2FImage%2F22APN4DRAXFW%2Ffull%2F%5E360%2C%2F0%2Fdefault.jpg&w=750&q=75)
Manuscripts
Microfilm of a typescript of George H. Rothrock's autobiography, written in Glendale, California, in 1924. Rothrock describes his childhood, including the death of his infant brother by fire; his father's trips to California in the early 1850s; of traveling to California by way of Aspinwall and crossing the Isthmus of Panama in 1854; of sailing to Sacramento and arriving in Marysville; and of his father's vineyard, orchard, and cattle ranch in Marysville. Much of the account recalls Rothrock's many travels throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona while he worked as a miner (including at the Soledad Mine and in the Mesquite Mining District), sheep and cattle herder, and teamster. He also describes trouble with Indians at Fort Apache in 1881, being placed in charge of the head of the Arizona Canal in 1905; of moving to a ranch in Lehi in 1915; and of settling in San Diego in 1920.
