Book Description

Excerpt from California and the Californians To know the glory of California scenery, one must live close to it through the changing years. From Siskiyou to San Diego, from Mendocino to Mariposa, from Tahoe to the Farallones, lake, crag, or chasm, forest, mountain, valley, or island, river, bay, or jutting headland, every one bears the stamp of its own peculiar beauty, a singular blending of richness, wildness, and warmth. Coastwise every where sea and mountains meet, and the surf of the cold Japanese current breaks in turbulent beauty against tall rincones and jagged reefs of rock. Slumbering amid the hills of the Coast Range. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
