Robert Ernest Cowans: A Bibliography of the History of California, 1510-1930 notes: "A singular book ascribed to Cornelius Cole. Being apparently a weird fiction, to ascertain its purport would be as difficult as to find the individual who has read it. Pp. 141-186 are occupied by a remarkable poem in superlative doggerel, relating chiefly to San Francisco, from the arrival of the "San Carlos" to the advent of Denis Kearney and the Spring Valley water ring, which is only one of the numerous incongruities found in the "Narrative".. ... Cornelius Cole (1822 1924) was a San Francisco attorney, who, in 1856, organized the California branch of the Republican Party, acting as secretary and writing the manifesto. Of the seven men who joined him were Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, Leland Stanford, and the Crocker brothers Edwin B. and Charles Crocker. Later that summer of 1856, Cole started the Sacramento Daily California Times with James McClatchy as an editor. It lasted only a few months after the 1856 National election. He served a single term in the United States House of Representatives as a Republican representing California from 1863 to 1865, and another term in the United States Senate from 1867 to 1873. Cole, who died at the age of 102 years, 47 days, is the longest-lived U.S. Senator. n 1880 he moved to southern California where he owned one of the original Spanish/Mexican landgrants, in what is now known as Hollywood.
