Bancroft, Hubed Howe, historian (May 51 1832-March 21 1918). Bom at Granville, Ohio, he worked at a relative's bookstore at Buffalo, New York, from 1848 until 1852, when he went to Califomia. He established a bookselling and publishing business at San Francisco, which came to be called The History Company, Publishers, prospered, and soon commenced gathering materials for his multi-volume history of the West,.which became the History of the Pacific States ot North America, published in 34 volumes between 1885 and 1890, with five volumes of additional material; the entire 39 volumes were also issued under the title The Works ot Hubert Howe Bancroft. Although the issues were under Bancroft"s name, he wrote but four volumes, editing much of the remainder. The others were written by as able a researcher-historian-writer body as was ever assembled, none of whom was credited in the Published works. "Although criticised for his: 'history factory,' Bancroft soon was credits with making a great contribution to American historiography." His unrivaled collection of 60,000 historical manuscripts, personal narratives, volumes and biographies was obtained in 1905 by the University of California at Berkeley where it is housed, still growing, in the Bancroft Library. "His broad approach to historical writing has rarely been equalled, and his histories were, in the main, reliable." The series, with the dates of publication of the final volumes: Northwest Coast, 2 vols. (1884); Alaska (1886); Native Races, 5 vols. (1886); British Columbia (1887); Central America, 3 vols. (1*887); Popular Tribunals, 2 vols. (1887); California Pastoral (1888); California Inter Pocula (1888); Mexico, 6 vols. (1888); Oregon, 2 vols.
