Extract

An interesting account of a business career has recently come into the possession of Baker Library. The Autobiography of Caspar Thomas Hopkins, a California pioneer, has been obtained by copying the original in the possession of one of his daughters, Mrs. Frank Hinckley. This story of his life was written in 1889, not for the public but for the edification of his daughters. It has therefore the special value of being a very frank record of his experiences and his achievements. The whole book is most interesting but here we are considering only his work in insurance. His youth will be touched on to give an idea of his early training.
