From "The Homestead Blog" (online): "One of several Gold Rush inspired sheet music pieces from the Homestead Collection, 'California Quick Step,' by Edward L. White, a Boston composer and teacher, was published by Oliver Ditson, also of Boston, and tnered in the Library of Congress in March 1849. The melody of 'California Quick Step' was based on 'Uncle Ned' or 'Old Uncle Ned,' a well-known song in what is generally now termed as African American Vernacular English from famed composer Stephen C. Foster that appeared in 1848. As a quick step, however, it was in a much faster tempo than the ballad of Foster's piece."

Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 20,000 titles. Our main specialties are books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children's books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy - plus books about the history of all of these fields.
