We don't hear much about Admission Day anymore. Today is the 162nd anniversary of California being welcomed into the Union. I took this photograph of Douglas Tilden's Native Sons Monument,
which commemorates Admission Day, on 26-September-2007. It features a quote from Senator William H Seward: "The unity of our empire hangs on the decision of this day." Seward later served as Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State.
The Giants won 2 out of 3 in a weekend series against the Dodgers. The Giants lead the second-place Dodgers by 5 1/2 games.
