Elihu Anthony (1818 – 1905): A Pioneer of the Pioneers of California

The biography of Elihu Anthony, written by his brother Charles, and presented here for the first time in its entirety, complements and adds to biographies of Elihu published in other publications. In my passion to document the life of Frederick Augustus Hihn, I naturally must explore each of his associates, business partners, his political and business ventures, and each member of his extended family. It was with that objective in mind that I compiled Santa Cruz County History Journal, issue number 4, in 1998. Its subtitle is The Society of California Pioneers of Santa Cruz County. F. A. Hihn was the President, each and every year from its founding in 1881 to 1913. Hihn died on August 23, 1913, and the Pioneers organization died with him.
