Excerpt from The Native Races of the Pacific States of North America, Vol. 1: Wild Tribes
To some it may be of interest to know the nature and extent of my resources for writing so important a series of works. The books and manuscripts necessary for the task existed in no library in the world; hence, in 1859, I commenced collecting material relative to the Pacific States. After securing everything within my reach in America, I twice visited Europe, spending about two years in thorough researches in England and the chief cities of the Continent. Having exhausted every avail able source, I was obliged to content myself with lying in wait for opportunities. Not long afterward, and at a time when the prospect of materially adding to my collection seemed anything but hopeful, the Biblioteca Imperial de Méjico, of the unfortunate Maximilian, col lected during a period of forty years by Don J osé Maria Andrade, litterateur and publisher of the city of Mexico, was thrown upon the European market and furnished me about three. Thousand additional volumes.
