In 1855, Englishman James Mason Hutchings contrived the idea of publishing a magazine to popularize California, which he called Hutchings' Illustrated California. The enterprising carpenter, gold miner, publisher and promoter introduced the magazine to attract immigrants, as well as to make money. Thomas Almond
Ayres, a California Gold Rush-era artist, most famous for drawing the first rendering of Yosemite Valley, was hired. The monthly magazine was published in San Francisco from July 1856 to June 1861, for a total of five volumes. Hutchings' Illustrated played an important role in popularizing California in general as well
as popularizing a number of well-known legendary stories of the West, including the Pony Express, Grizzly Adams, Peg-leg Smith and Snowshoe Thompson.
