U.S. Consul at Monterey from 1844 to 1848, Thomas Larkin is wellknown to any student of California history. Larkin achieved immortality because his office became the nerve center of American activities in California before the Mexican War and because he left behind a voluminous and revealing correspondence. In this volume, John Hawgood has brought together some of Larkins most interesting letters, many of which were published in George Hammonds ten volume Larkin Papers. When First and Last Consul appeared in 1962 scholars received it warmly because the letters provided a longneeded corrective to Reuben Underhills biography of Larkin; because Hawgoods choice of letters shed considerable light on commercial and political affairs in California when Larkin was consul; and because Hawgoods narrative provided a unity to the Larkin letters that made the book a pleasure to read.
