BRADLEY V. SARGENT, Jr., is a native of Monterey county, born on the San Carlos
ranch in Carmel valley, July 5, 1863. He was reared on this ranch until he
reached the age of ten, when the family removed to Monterey. Here he attended
the public schools until 1881, when he was sent to a Jesuit college. He was
graduated from this noted seat of learning in 1884, receiving the degree of B.
A., and a year later the same institution conferred upon him the degree of
Master of Science. In September, 1885, he entered Yale College, remained there
two years and completed a thorough course of law, receiving his diploma in 1887.

  On his return to California he was in poor health, due to severe application
to study; so, to regain his accustomed good health, he returned to the freedom
of the ranch, where he had been an expert in riding spirited horses, and in the
use of the riata. He also worked in the Los Burros mines for some months. After
some time he went to San Francisco and entered the office of E. B. Stenehill,
the district attorney, by whom he was employed as Assistant District Attorney
until August, 1888. In this office he found excellent opportunities for
perfecting himself for the office to which he was called by the vote of the
people, later on. As he possessed exceptional qualification for public speaking,
he was called upon by the Democratic Central Committee to canvass the southern
part of the State in connection with Hon. Thomas Geary, then a candidate for
Congress in that section. Mr. Sargent began the practice of law in Salinas, late
in 1888, and in the May following was appointed Assistant District Attorney,
under James A. Wall. He served in this position until 1890, when he was elected
District Attorney of Monterey county.

  Mr. Sargent is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West and Past
President of Santa Lucia Parlor. He is also a member of the State Bar
Association. This gentleman is one of the most influential of the young lawyers
of California, and fair is the future before him.
