(port.)c17 cm.  aA Southern Methodist minister, Oscar Penn Fitzgerald (1829-1911) of North Carolina was sent to California as a missionary by his denomination in 1855. He remained for more than twenty years, winning appointment as state superintendent of public education in 1867 despite his pro-Southern position during the Civil War. In the late 1870s, Fitzgerald returned to the East, editing the Nashville Christian Advocate, 1878-1890, and accepting appointment as a Southern Methodist bishop. California sketches: New series (1881) is the second installment of his reminiscences, again focusing on his Southern Methodist ministry in California, 1855-1880. Topics include his pastorate in Sonora, clergy in California, rivalry with Northern Methodists, and the Pacific Methodist Advocate.  aAlso available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.  aNo known restrictions on publication. 0aCaliforniaxDescription and travel. 0aCaliforniaxSocial life and customs. 0aEthnic groupszCalifornia. 0aLawxPolitical aspectszCalifornia. 0aReligion and ethicszCalifornia.41dcalbkf060qtuhttp://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gdc/calbk.060  c51933d51933
