Book Description
Excerpt from The Smiling Hill-Top and Other California Sketches On our hill-top there are quantities of wild creatures - quail, rabbits, doves, and ground squirrels and, unfortunately, a number of social outcasts. Never shall I forget an epic incident in our history - the head of the family in pajamas at dawn, in mortal combat with a small black-and white creature, chasing it through the Cloisters with the garden hose. Oh, yes, there is plenty of adventure still left, even though we don't have to cross the prairies in a wagon.

Book Description
The following sketches are entirely informal. They do not cover the subject of Southern California in any way. In fact, they contain no information whatever, either about the missions or history-a little, perhaps, about the climate and the fruits and flowers of the earth, but that has crept in more or less unavoidably. They are the record of what happened to happen to a fairly light-hearted family who left New England in search of rest and health. There are six of us, two grown-ups, two boys, and two dogs. We came for a year and, like many another family, have taken root for all our days-or so it seems now.

Book Description
Excerpt from California Sketches: New and Old These Sketches wrote themselves, as it were. About three years ago my friend, Prof. Alonzo Phelps (formerly of Harvard University), in reply to my remark that somebody ought to preserve the vanishing phases of the early California life, said, "Yes, it ought to be done, and you are the man to do it." The matter was then dismissed from my mind as the flattering suggestion of a partial friend. After leaving California, every thing connected with my life, or that had come under my observation while there, assumed a fresh interest to my own mind. The remark of my friend was remembered, and, more to gratify a kindly impulse than with a view to make a volume, in snatches of such leisure as an editor gets, the penciling of these humble Sketches began. Now that the little book is finished, I am at least half sorry it was ever begun. Yet there has been a pleasure in writing it. The old days have come back to me again, and images that were fading have stood before me in the form and color of life. Ah! if I could make them stand thus before my kind readers! The Sketches are all from real life. In one or two instances names are disguised for obvious reasons. I have told the story as I saw it, and as I remember it. There is no fancy-sketch among these chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Over the Purple Hills: Or, Sketches of Travel in California of Important Points Usually Visited by Tourists In making a few prefatorial remarks I desire to say that this little work, now presented to the public, is a book of travels written by a woman, and the journeyings have been performed by a woman alone. Mother Partington and some of the Grundys may be led to exclaim, "Dew tell!" "feerful to behold!" and what is this world a coming tew!" "who is there left to take care of the children!" etc. One would think it high time for people to lay aside such ridiculous prejudices, but they never will; the mass of mankind are tinctured with local superstitions that could not survive one moment with a single ray of reason brought to bear upon them; still these superstitions are cherished as a species of Deity, to be invoked when its subjects are in danger of fancied contamination.
