Farquhar papers, 1912-1968, via Online Archive of California, January 11, 2019: biography (Francis Peloubet Farquhar -- certified public accountant by profession and conservationist, mountaineer, historian and author by avocation -- was born in Newton, Massachusetts on December 31, 1887. Graduating from Harvard in 1909, he came to San Francisco in 1910 and, after several business experiences, returned to New England to take up the profession of accounting; in 1914 he came again to California, eventually setting up his own practice in San Francisco as a certified public accountant. His love of the mountains brought him into mountaineering and conservation circles, and he became deeply involved with the Sierra Club, serving twice as president (1933-35 and 1948-49) and as editor of the Sierra Club Bulletin from 1926 to 1946; writer of Place Names of the High Sierra (1926), Yosemite, The Big Trees and the High Sierra (1948), Up and Down California in 1860-1864: The Journal of William H. Brewer (1931), and the History of the Sierra Nevada (1965), and the many articles on mountains and western history he contributed to periodicals and to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Mr. Farquhar died in Berkeley, where he had made his home for many years, on November 20, 1974) <https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf309n99w2/admin/#bioghist-1.3.4> |
