Occidental Sketches (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Occidental Sketches

I submit a preface, more to conform to custom than for any thing else. In it, however, I Will take occasion to state that the names of persons and places and situations in Hill Beechey's Dream, An Episode of Echo Cafion, A Mid night Adventure in Nevada, Three Extinct Citizens, The Wickenburg Massacre, and A Sensation in the Orange Groves, are all real and true in each particular respect. In the sketch entitled Divorced on the Desert, the main facts have been preserved, With the real names of the characters changed to fictitious ones, for reasons not necessary to present. An Hour With an Antediluvian is an enlargement of a scene that actually did occur. The other sketches are pre sented for the general information and entertain.
