Excerpt from The Contest for California in 1861: How Colonel E. D. Baker Saved the Pacific States to the Union Life and Public Services of Edward D. Baker, written and published by Joseph Wallace (spring field, Illinois, must always be the main source of knowledge of the events of General Baker's career, especially of his early life. I have borrowed from it freely. I have also made much use of Hubert Howe Bancroft's History. I have not always used quotation marks because I have gener ally preferred to condense statements or slightly alter expressions. Scrapbooks which I made while the stirring occurrences herein described were being daily reported in the newspapers have been of serv ice; but I have not relied implicitly on scrapbooks. I have been aided by Winfield J. Davis, of Sac ramento, recently deceased, and my old friend William H. Fleming, of Philadelphia, in collecting and verifying facts. In that matter I am under many obligations to Miss Carrie Baker Hopkins, of Seattle, a granddaughter of General Baker. I am reminded of what is purely a coincidence that I am writing this preface on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the death of General Baker on the battlefield of Ball's Bluff.
