Book Description
Excerpt from History of the State of California and Biographical Record of San Joaquin County, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Biographies of Well-Known Citizens of the Past and Present Concerning the home of Captain Webe the famous poet and traveler, Bayard Taylor, writes as follows: We were greatly delighted with our visit to Captain Weber's, who transformed a tract of land between two sloughs into a garden. There is no more delightful villa in existence. A thick hedge, outside of which is a row of semi tropical trees, surrounds the peninsula. The gate opened into a lofty avenue of trellis work, where the sunshine strikes through branches of ame thyst and chrysolite, while on either hand beds of roses fill the air with odor. The house is low but spacious, the woodwork of natural red wood. Vine - covered verandas surround it and every window discloses a vision of plants that would be the glory of any greenhouse on the Atlantic coast. In Mrs. Weber I found the ac quaintance of my former visit. Well I remem ber the day when, hungry and footsore, I went to the door of her father's house in the valley of the San Jose and found her reading a poem of mine. Her father saddled his horse and rode with me to the top of the mountain, and her own hands prepared the grateful supper and breakfast that gave me strength for the tramp to Monterey. The garden delighted us beyond measure. The walks were waist deep in fuchias and geraniums, and the pepper trees, with their loose, misty boughs, hailed us as do friends from Athens. A row of Italian cypresses were shoot ing rapidly above the other boughs in the gar den. How they will transform the character of the landscape when their dark obelisks stand in full stature!
