This study examines the influence of "Victorian" ideology on the first fifty years of development of Sacramento, California. It is proposed that this progressive ideological orientation influenced artifacts, patterns of behavior, and specific historic events--from children's toys and decorations in ordinary families' homes, to archaeological site structure and content.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examines the influence of "Victorian" ideology on the first fifty years of development of Sacramento, California. It is proposed that this progressive ideological orientation influenced artifacts, patterns of behavior, and specific historic events--from children's toys and decorations in ordinary families' homes, to archaeological site structure and content.
520 $a In the first chapter, the concept of Victorianism is explored. Here, it is suggested that Sacramento's transitional stage of development was marked by conflict between the Victorians--who wished to establish a well regulated, commercial society--and others whose values were pre-modern and who were more concerned with short-term gain than long-term stability.
520 $a Chapter 2 uses archaeological remains associated with four mid and late nineteenth-century households to demonstrate the increasing acceptance of Victorian values. Archaeological site structure and artifacts associated with parlor and dining rituals are taken as representing the encroachment of Victorianism.
520 $a Archaeological remains and landscape values of Chinese merchants are examined in Chapter 3. The merchants represented a bastion of non-Victorian values in mid nineteenth-century Sacramento.
520 $a Chapter 4 examines the archaeological remains and historic context of a late nineteenth-century junk (second-hand) store. Junk dealing is shown to be an important transitional economic mode that bridged the gap between the pre-modern barter system and the cash economy of the Victorian era. In addition, the business of junk dealing among Sacramento's community of Central European Jews is examined.
520 $a In Chapter 5 it is concluded that while Victorianism may have been a homogenizing force in nineteenth-century Sacramento, pre-modern values and practices continued to be important influences in people's lives. The growing consumerism of Victorian Sacramento is contrasted with the economic mode of the junk store. Fashion, the mainspring of consumerism, is also linked to the artifacts that were part of Victorian secular rituals--parlor visiting and dining. Finally, the cultural accommodations of two immigrant groups--Chinese and Central European Jews--are examined. While the former strove to maintain their separateness, the latter adapted to Victorianism through the mechanism of Reform Judaism.
