This individual quality may not be such as to be readily recognized, but it exists. The present it is true is the only thing alive, speaking materially, but it is of great importance that the present does not forget the past from which it sprung, for possibly it may find something in the dead past that will make more worth while the living present, something that will answer questions that are often asked but have not before been answered. And so in writing the story of Glendale and the surrounding community, the present historian will take the reader back for something over a cen tury, and endeavor to present a picture of the beginning of civilization in this locality, assuming, rather liberally perhaps, that the European was the importer of civilization to our California coast.
