Excerpt from The Sunset Land: Or the Great Pacific Slope
California is a study. On visiting it, the stranger is, at first, utterly bewildered, finding everything so entirely different from anything he expected or ever saw before. He seems to have alighted on some new planet; the points of compass seem to have swung wrong, and the winds, the trees, the shrubbery, the hills, and valleys, all conspire to confound and mock him, and to enjoy his confusion.
