Description
Excerpt from Southern California
Although these pastoral pursuits form so large and important a feature of life in Southern California, there is another phase that has had a large share in the build ing up of the country. Stories of a wonderful climate, of open-air life all the year round, of perennial sunshine and of beauties of landscape became noised abroad over the land. People heard that it was a good place for a home, and they came and found that it was so. Invalids came with their families, regained their health and stayed. They wrote home to their friends at Christmas time that they were enjoying the roses and violets andorange blossoms, and the next Christmas their friends came also to escape the blizzards and pneumonia of the northern States. In this way the country has been built up, health and pleasure seekers of one year becoming the settlers of the next.
