The Golden Era was a 19th century San Francisco newspaper that featured the writing of Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Charles Warren Stoddard (writing at first as "Pip Pepperpod"), Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Adah Isaacs Menken and Ada Clare.
The Golden Era began in 1852 as a weekly founded by Rollin Daggett and J. Macdonough Foard. In 1860 it was sold to James Brooks and Joseph E. Lawrence, and became more literary. Harr Wagner bought the weekly in 1882. In January 1886, Wagner changed to monthly publication, and hired Joaquin Miller as editor. Wagner married poet Madge Morris who was already a contributor, and her contributions became more numerous. In 1887, Wagner moved the periodical to San Diego, California—city officials enticed him with a $5,000 subsidy.
The freedom is in our eyes
the hero is in our hearts
darkness will be no more in the golden era
we are the iron angels we are the courriers
we are the children of the endless light and love
we are the steel saviours we are the warriors
we are the children of the sky and the sun
the freedom is in our eyes
the hero is in our hearts
darkness will be no more in the golden era
the courage is in our eyes
the power is in our hearts
light and justice will return in the golden era...
in the golden era people will be free in freedom time
the sun will rise and
darkness will end in the endless sky
children of tomorrow will live forever with the brothers hearts
