California: A Pleasure Trip from Gotham to the Golden Gate (April, May, June, 1877) By Mrs. Frank Leslie. Illustrated. Written in 1877 and published in New York. (354 pages) The illustrations from this book are available for viewing and download at www.digitaltextpublishing.com Prefatory, to the Reader.…Dear five hundred friends already mine, and five hundred more, who will, as I fondly dream, become mine through these pages, let me disarm criticism beforehand by assuring you that nobody could point out a fault or a shortcoming in this little book, which I do not know all about and deplore most modestly beforehand. In fact I have my doubts as to calling it a book at all, that title implying a purpose, and deliberateness, and method, which are not of my circle, although regarded by me with respectful admiration. No, let us rather say, that this work of mine is a vehicle, through which, with feminine longing for sympathy, I convey to you my pleasures, annoyances, and experiences in the journey it narrates; or, if you like better, it is a casket, enshrining the memory of many a pleasant hour made bright and indelible by your companionship, your kindness, your attention and hospitality.…The world is so exigent, and Time the Effacer is so ruthless, that one loves sometimes to "materialize" those pleasant, or more than pleasant recollections, and so put them not only beyond the risk of loss from one's own memory, but in such form that they can be communicated anew to those who originally shared them.M.
