The Wisdom of Thomas Starr King
Two peaks, one in New Hampshire's White Mountains and one in Yosemite National Park, are named after Thomas Starr King. He left a brilliant career in Boston to go to San Francisco in 1860, where his convincing oratory was credited with keeping California firmly on the Union side in the Civil War. Along with his commitment to emancipation and the Northern cause, he had a sharp wit and an enviable prose style, which this volume illustrates well.

A Tribute to Thomas Starr King (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A Tribute to Thomas Starr King "To-day is the fourth of March: sad news will go over the wires to-day." Thus spoke Thomas Starr King, at San Francisco, at about eight o'clock in the morning; and, a few minutes later, he was dead. As the intelligence spread through the city, there was sorrow on all faces. Unusual stillness was in the marts of trade. Public business was suspended. The courts and the Legislature were adjourned. The national flag was everywhere set at half-mast. The city was in mourning. "A Christian minister," - it was said from the bench, - "a Christian patriot, has fallen.
