As a young man of twenty, Harris Newmark arrived in Los Angeles in 1853. Sixty years later, at age eighty, he wrote these recollections of his long life in Southern California. Highly accurate and rich in detail and anecdote, these are not the reminiscences that one would expect from an eighty-year-old man. That was due, in part, to the assistance of Newmark's two sons and to the help of a paid scholar, Perry Worden, who verified Newmark's facts and added further material from contemporary newspapers. The result was a valuable chronicle, which treats events in Los Angeles year by year, and a source book of enduring value. First published in 1916, Sixty Years in Southern California has become a California classic. This fourth edition is a photographic reproduction of the valuable and long-out-of-print third edition of 1930. In the second and third editions Newmark's sons added more material to the original through the use of appendices. W. W. Robinson has continued that tradition in this latest edition by adding a charming introduction and some explanatory notes. These changes are not of such importance, however, that a small library owning the third edition would need to invest in the newest one. San Diegans may be disappointed that their city does not figure more prominently in the narrative. Such well-known local figures as William Heath Davis and Alonzo Horton are not even mentioned because Southern California, to Newmark, was Los Angeles. Yet, those who study San Diego's past have found Newmark's Sixty Years an important first-hand account.
Excerpt from Sixty Years in Southern California: Containing the Reminiscences of Harris Newmark, 1853-1913 With this brief introduction, I give the manuscript to the printer, not' with the ambitious hope of enriching literature in any respect, but not without confidence that I have provided some new material for the local historian - perhaps of the future - and that there may be a goodly number of people sufficiently interested to read and enjoy the story, yet indulgent enough to overlook the many faults in its narration.
