Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from California Revisited: 1858-1897 As he who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before is proverbially, at least, a benefactor; so should the author who grows the second book have the same title. But there are sour grasses, and books which sour on the public, and reflectively on the author, so that the survivors of the fittest are few. That this is my second venture readers of my "California Tramp" will know. Those who do not will find by reading the coming pages that the author visited the Pacific Coast in 1858; so this is his second experience of Western travel. To the tens of thousands who went on the Christian Endeavor excursion the late tour to California was of interest from that single journey; mine was of double interest. To cross the continent in six days instead of six months; to see towns and cities, and gardens and orchards where I once saw sage-brush covered plains, and herds of cattle where the prairies had been black with buffaloes, were indeed things to note.
