Excerpt from Alone: A Beautiful Land of DreamsAll the world over the word California seems symbolic of sunshine and flowers. The wonderful state that lies alone beside the Pacific welcomes the stranger with the warm, soft breath of spring and is truly "a world beautiful", a land where the romantist dreams by night and by day, still, - amid the wonderful beauty, there is startling romance and tragedy.I shall take the reader on the desert that lies to the East, and we will sit on the Palisades that look down upon the ocean that lies to the West. We will spend a night in a Gypsy camp where the picturesque descendants of the old Romany tribes are, and we will visit the semiruins of an old Spanish Mission and listen to the wonderful stories of an aged padre who still holds services there. He will show us through the quaint garden and a cemetery, and the reader will see in the latter Bret Harte sdescription of the cemetery at the Mission Dolores.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
