Picture of Austin Wiley
Description
Here is a picture of Austin Wiley, the second owner of the Humboldt Times, a newspaper that still ran in 1860. Wiley preached for the "removal or extermination" of the Natives within the area and frequently posted articles and rewards for their deaths within the newspaper. Later became Superintendent of Indian Affairs in California. Quoted saying "We have long foreseen the present state of things and have been well satisfied, and so expressed it repeatedly, that it could be averted by placing the Indians on the Reservations or by extermination: in other words, by removing them from the range they now inhabit, either alive or dead."
