The Argonaut, San Francisco, California journal, 1877 – 1893, founded and published by Frank M. Pixley.
An entertaining journal containing strong political Americanism combined with art and literature. Many 19th-century writers such as Ambrose Bierce, Yda Addis, and Gertrude Atherton appeared regularly in the journal. Most impressive was the Christmas cover page: A detailed etching of San Francisco Bay. The California Bear was used at the publication's logo.
