SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Says CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER:
"Mr. Theodore S. Van Dyke, a graduate of a New England college, has lived nearly twenty years in Southern California, and hunted, fished and tramped over every acre of it. He is the most competent, accomplished, and level-headed historian California ever had. He has a very practical turn, and is thoroughly up in agriculture, horticulture, the problem of immigration, etc. Besides all this, he has uncommon powers of description and a genuine literary gift. It is not claiming too much to say that he is on the Pacific coast what John Burroughs is on the Atlantic. But he has more humor than Burroughs, and an equally keen instinct of nature. His former book on 'Southern California' is altogether the best that has been written, and it is so because Mr. Van Dyke has the literary art, which is the art of seeing things as they are."
