Lot of 2: The Native Sons (and Daughters) of the Golden West (NSGW) were a group of the children of the founding pioneers of California. 1) the main book in this collection is a 243-page hard-bound with gilt titles on the cover. Inside this heavily-illustrated book are portraits of the most prominent California families (men, women, and children), along with photos and stories about California wines, the lands, valleys, fruit orchards, vineyards, etc. A loose page in the back is an advertisement for the company that published the book, the Pacific Publishing Co. 2) is the "Constitution and Laws of The Grand Parlor of the NSGW." A hand-written date on the cover indicates February 26, 1898. The outer covers are intact, and show only a bit of wear at the corners. Book measures 4" x 5.5". Text, photos, illustrations, etc. are in excellent condition for both pieces. A rare find for California history. -60395
