He Wrote A Memoir, Sixty Years In Southern California: 1853-1913, Which Has Been Cited In Dozens Of Academic Papers And Books. It Is Described As The Los Angeles Equivalent Of A Pepys Diary.

This title is one of the important books in the Zamorano Eighty list of books on California and the American West. Octavo rebound in library-type, green buckram. B&W illustrations. Condition: rebound in a pretty clunky binding, but judging… from the absence of library markings, was probably done as a utilitarian measure. The binding is rubbed & a bit worn; there is a previous owner's inked and phone number on the 1st free endpaper and above that is the rubber-stamp of an old L. A. bookshop that's no longer in business. Endpapers are toned. Otherwise, this a good, tight, and very serviceable copy. Pages: xxxiii, 732.
