In the January Out West (Vol. XX, No. 1) begins a series of “Early California Reminiscences” by Gen. John Bidwell. The editorial note tells us that for more than fifty years John Bidwell was one of the foremost citizens of California. He went there when Mexican rule was still in force, and after annexation took a prominent part in the development of the State. The series is concluded in the August number.
