James Cannon Zabriskie was presented with an inscribed cane in 1863. The cane had a
massive gold head, crowned with a highly polished and beautiful quartz specimen. The
mounting is in imitation of a crown of octagon. inscription: "Polanders of
California, to their true friend, Colonel J.C. Zabriskie, San Francisco, 1863." The
presentation was made by Captain Korwin Piotrowski.
Does anyone in the Zabriskie family have this cane? The Polish Society of California in
San Francisco will be celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year (2013) and we are
looking for a picture of the cane, and local relatives of J.C. Zabriskie to invite to the
celebration.
