About the author and work: Owen Cochran Coy (1884-1952) had a long career in the field of history. He taught at Eureka High School in Northern California (1909-1913). He served as the secretary and subsequently as director for the California Historical Survey Commission from 1915-1923. He was a professor of history at the University of Southern California from 1925-1950. Following the commission’s administrative restructuring, he served as director of the California State Historical Association (CSHA) from 1923 to 1950. He served as a state technical director of the Historical Records Survey, W.P.A. in 1936. His publication work included editing Pictorial History of California and serving as editor for the CSHA serial publication, California History Nugget.
The contents of this monumental work include illustrations, maps, portraits, broadsides, and views. Every picture was carefully selected for both historical accuracy and pictorial value. The narratives were carefully prepared to supply the demand for a simple history, free from technical features. An attempt was made to describe each picture so as to aid in determining the degree of its historical value. The book was planned by Edward Mayer, Secretary, Department of Visual Instruction, University of California Extension Division, and compiled and edited by Owen C. Coy, Ph.D., Director, California State Historical Association.
Provenance: Max Thelen (1880-1972) American railroad commissioner [Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) The Commission's five members were appointed by the President with the consent of the United States Senate.
