A La California

"Á la California" is an exciting volume of recollections and anecdotal history by Albert S. Evans. He starts by taking the readers on tour from the Sierra Morena through the San Andreas Valley, south to Pescadero and Santa Cruz, up the Napa Valley and Mount St. Helena. This work contains several chapters on San Francisco, focusing on the legends of the Barbary Coast and Chinatown and stories of miners in the Gold Rush.
