Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Yermah the Dorado: The Story of a Lost Race Tlamco, the Llama city, the name of which was un known to the men who sought the mythical Kingdom of Quivera that will-o -the wisp land supposed to be the center of the Amazon inhabited island of California of the very remote past. Tlamco vanished so completely that there were no traces perceptible to the men who founded Yerba Buena on the same peninsula ages after. Its existence would be laughed at by present day inhabitants of San Fran cisco were it not true that the hills in and around Golden Gate Park are living witnesses of great mathematical skill. The first denizens built some of these hills and shaped others to give the diameters and distances of all the planets. Who of to-day will believe that Las Papas, or Twin Peaks, show the eccentricities of the earths orbit to one fifty-millionths of its full size? At present early morning milk-trains, and trucks loaded with vegetables from the outlying gardens intercept and mingle with the heavy wagons laden with meat from South City. In short, the modern city´s food supply comes from the same direction in which Yermah rode. Conditions and people have changed since then, and so have many of the features of the locality itself. South of what is known as the Potrero was a bay. Now it is a swamp, and the north and south points there are the remains of forts, although they appear to be nothing more than hillocks blown into shape by merest chance. To the west is a hill on which dwelt Hanabusa, the captain of the three-decked war-galleys, or balsas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
