Clyde Arbuckle's History of San Jose
Although San Jose is one of the newest of cities, it is one of the oldest of communities in the State of California. It has a history both rich and varied. From the Spanish Conquistadors to the Mission padres to the mountain men voyageurs’ to the 49’ers, San Jose has been a glowing hope for the future. And so it remains. Here in this beautiful valley one group of travelers after another have found a tremendous opportunity to fulfill their dreams. It has provided a vision of a better life to those who arrived as overland emigrants in covered wagons or in tempest-tossed ships, and to the waves of newcomers who followed them by rail, automobile and airliner.
