Notes on the early history of Riverside, California
Manuscripts
James Roe's notes, which include a (separate) history of water in the Riverside valley and a thorough index, cover the history of Riverside from the purchase of land by the colony founders in 1870 to the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the city in 1885. The three subjects most heavily addressed are the development of area water systems, the development of the citrus fruit industry, and local marriages, although the notes touch on everything from encounters with American Indians to the wingspan of a stray pelican at the park. Prominent figures in the document include John W. North, Matthew Gage, and Frank Miller; Virgil Earp makes an appearance in a confrontation between railroads. Roe intended the manuscript for publication, and two readers added notes to the piece before it was typed. The document is a typescript copy of the original, which is held by the Riverside Public Library.
