Synopsis
Excerpt from Rand, McNally Co; 'S New Overland Guide to the Pacific Coast: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas
Such persons would live as far south as Memphis, for instance, and as far north as Chicago. There are many thousands of these annu ally; for California, and especially Southern California, seems to have become a subject in which a great portion of the American people are interested. Why this is so may in some measure appear in the following pages. There is no country whose history is more curious or whose changes have been more astonishing. Simply as a study; as a chapter out of mod ern American history; as an example of the results wrought by steam, water and human industry - California, upper, middle or southern, is worth some attention, if not very careful consideration.
This narrative will also include a glance, as careful as space will admit of, of what lies between; - Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. All these that have not already come to the front in public estimation are rapidly coming, and all are interested from at least one standpoint - that which regards them as the seat of future empire, the homes of countless thousands of people who will be all Ameri cans, all speaking the same language, wearing the same dress, following the same customs, and under whose touch every desert will yet bloom, every mountain nook become a home.
