Chronicler, historian-poet, journalist and oral historian; she was a puzzle then and she is now, demanding much reflection. . Victor's style was trenchant, quick and penetrating, possessed of more wit and sarcasm than irony, unlike her close associates Mark Twain, Bret Harte, J. Ross Brown, Judge Matthew Deady and even J. Quinn Thornton, to name a few of her San Francisco and Oregon Country cronies. . We are all recipients of her special endowments as an observer on our several western frontiers.".
