The early days of my episcopate

About this book

The early days of my episcopate (1892) contains reminiscences of his rectorship of Grace Church, San Francisco; visits to Sacraments, Stockton, San José, Monterey, Benecia, and Los Angeles; experiences in mining camps in Marysville, Grass Valley, and Nevada; and the history of church politics and rivalries.
