Excerpt from The Great Pacific Coast The purpose of the present work is to treat of the vast region of the Pacific Coast of North and South America as a physical and political entity, seen from the point of view of the observant traveller from jour neys extending over a number of years: a task never perhaps attempted before. The excellent recep tion accorded to my former travel books, dealing with some of the States of South and North America, is borne out by the pile of favourable reviews and of numerous letters from readers at home and abroad which I have; and the several editions which have been reached in a short space: and these seem to offer a measure of popularity for the present work. To those (few) reviewers who have objected to intimate descrip tions I would reply that these books, having at base a geographical purpose, are written to interest the ordinary reader and student of trav'ei-lgre, rather than for the scientist.

Excerpt from Recreations of a Sportsman on the Pacific Coast The San Clemente channel in the afternoon is not the smoothest spot on earth; in point Of fact, its waters are Often so riotous that every one Who loves creature comfort, and peace Of body, starts from Santa Catalina at three or four o'clock, or some earlier and more barbaric hour in the morning, making the voyage when the seas are down and sleeping, crossing in from two and a half to four hours, according to the boat, the run being twenty or thirty-five miles, according to the destination, east or west end.

Excerpt from A Pacific Coast Vacation The phenomenon of the aurora was ex plained to us, but to our childish imagination Aurora ever remained a maiden whose wonder ful hair of rainbow tints lit up the northern sky. We talked of Aurora, we dreamed of Aurora, and now we are off to see the charming ice maiden of our childhood fancy. Off to Alaska. For years we have dreamed of it; for days and weeks we have breakfasted on Rocky Mountain fiora, lunched on icebergs and glaciers and dined on totem poles and In dian chiefs. Much of the charm of travel in any country comes of the glamour with which fable and legend have enshrouded its historic places. America is rapidly developing a legendary era. Travel up and down the shores of the historic Hudson and note her fabled places. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life at Shut-in Valley: And Other Pacific Coast Tales Shut-in Valley lay bathed in sunlight - the bright, intense sunlight of California, that burns and crisps but does not wilt. Down the white, winding road a cloud of dust betokened the swift gallop of a stray horseman - some hunter, probably, or a visitor from the town, twenty-five miles away, to one of the ranches still farther up the mountains. No further sign of life was manifest, save in the doorway of a low, weather beaten cabin at the extreme lower end of the valley, where a young woman in a plain calico gown stood, with her deep blue eyes wearily scanning the landscape. Not even the rude and uninviting setting of this living picture could detract from its plainly apparent claim to more than ordinary interest. It was a graceful figure and a high-bred face - delicate, sensitive, full of intelligence and refinement, of sadness, too, as its owner slowly turned away and disappeared from sight. "What a life!" Marian Curtis was saying in her heart. "How can I endure it?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Clear Round Starting from New York in September, 1902, and crossing our Continent via New Orleans, to the Pacific Coast, we sail from San Francisco, on the S. S. China, of the Pacific Mail Line. We steamed slowly down through the Golden Gate and past the silent guns of Alcatraz, which command its entrance, out to the open sea. The next morning we felt the breath of the tropics and on the sixth day we sighted the Hawaiian Islands, the Paradise of the Pacific.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways of the Pacific Coast The several volumes in this series have as a rule very little to say of the large towns. Country life is their chief topic, especially the typical and the picturesque. TO the traveller, no life is more interesting, and yet there is none with which it is so difficult to get into close and unconventional contact. Ordinarily, we catch only casual glimpses. For this reason I have wandered much on rural byways and lodged most of the time at village hotels or in rustic homes. My trips have taken me to many characteristic and famous regions; but always in both text and pictures I have tried to Show actual life and nature and to convey some of the pleasure I experienced in my intimate acquaintance with the people. These Highways and Byways volumes are often consulted by persons who are planning pleasure tours. To make the books more helpful for this purpose each chapter has a note appended containing suggestions for intending travellers. With the aid of these notes, I think the reader can readily decide what regions are likely to prove particularly worth visiting, and will know how to see such regions with the most comfort and facility.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Life on the Pacific Coast We remember many human things, as tho it were but yesterday, among which were seventy thou sand native troops, half clothed, who were reviewed in the streets of the city by the Emperor. We recall the occasion; the appearance and the lack of proper garbing of the troops, but can not quite recall the reason of the review.
