Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Californian Days Every land has its story; a story in the telling of which there are two distinct methods. One way includes only the question of what are called "resources"; the things that are present today, and will increase or decline tomorrow, and which interest the average American accordingly. The other is misty, intangible, historical, a hovering phantom whose presence is not visible, but which is nevertheless always there, an abiding legacy to whoever shall come, an influence not to be avoided, a mist such as that with which time has dimmed the colors of an old painting; not intended, but something which to all beholders belongs to the picture. This story may be divided into periods, of which, in respect to California, there are manifestly three. First, there is the old time of the Missions, part of the scheme of Spanish conquest, imparting a certain coloring which nothing more practical and modern will ever entirely wash out.
