About this book

Frederick Billings: A Life by Winks, Robin W.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780520214972.

Frederick Billings was the first lawyer to hang his shingle in San Francisco, the man who named the city of Berkeley, and an instrumental figure in founding the University of California. An early conservationist and advocate of national parks, Billings was also president of the Northern Pacific railroad. This riveting biography captures not only Billingss dynamic life, but also the spirit and excitement of California during the gold rush era.
