Lincoln:: University of Nebraska Press,, (1991). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in blue gray cloth with gilt lettering on the spine in a very good dust jacket (short tear near top of spine, rubbing to lettering on dj spine) .. First edition. A collection of 21 stories written by "visitors like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce but mostly by natives like Jack London and John Steinbeck. They go back to the oral tradition of the American Indians and recall the Hispanic settlement, the gold rush of the 1850s, the agricultural epoch, the growth of cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, the foibles of early Hollywood, and the rise of ghettos. . . California's varied scenery is drawn on in stories with a strong sense of place, whether Steinbeck's Salinas Valley or Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles. Besides Steinbeck and Chandler, authors represented are Theodora Kroeber, Bret Harte, Gertrude Atherton, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Edwin Cone, Jack London, Idwal Jones, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Dashiel Hammett, Eugene Burdick, Janet Lewis, Wallace Stegner, and Danny Santiago."
