A propos de cet article

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. Black lettering printed on front cover. 6" x 9 1/4." Nineteen pages (Pages 123-139), complete. One black-and-white frontispiece illustration, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning. Covers are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning and slight wear to extremities. A Fine copy. Part II of a series published by the Academy of Pacific Coast History featuring the printed text of papers dating to 1851 belonging to the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. Except for the frontispiece (which shows a facsimile of the Committee document featured in this pamphlet), there are no facsimile images of the Committee's papers. Part II features a "List of Names Approved by the Committee on Qualification" for 1851 from the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The names are those of people approved to be members of the Committee. The San Francisco Committee of Vigilance was founded in 1851 as a vigilante militia group who took the law into their own hands after they claimed that elected officials and law enforcement were negligent in keeping the city of San Francisco safe and punishing criminals. The Committee arrested, interrogated, and incarcerated suspects without due process of the law and even executed alleged criminals and forced some elected officials to resign. The Committee formally dissolved that same year in 1851, but members continued to meet into 1853. The Committee made a reappearance in 1856 after the murder of journalist James King by a corrupt politician. The 1856 Committee had about 6,000 members, a significant increase from the about 700 who were part of the 1851 Committee. While the 1851 Committee was primarily concerned with civil crimes, the 1856 Committee sought to punish civil crimes as well as political corruption. The 1856 Committee dissolved the same year of its formation like the first one did but continued its influence in San Francisco when its political party, the People's Party, came to power and controlled the city until 1867. The People's Party eventually became a part of the Republican Party.…
