Synopsis
Excerpt from Six Months in California
I have not sought to be abstruse, nor have I designed to enter into profound dissertations. My idea has been to give _a popular narrative of my excursion to the Far West, in the same way that one would describe a paint ing that he has seen and admired to a circle of his acquaintance. Those who have been accustomed to the monotony and conventionalities of European travel, will find an immense relief and sense of freedom when roam ing amongst the Sierras of California; and it cannot but be interesting to visit a state that, less than a quarter of a century since, was hardly known by name, and to-day takes her place as one of the powers of the American Continent.
