Sanborn, Kate.
A TRUTHFUL WOMAN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
1893 1st New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1893. First edition. Born in Hanover, New Hampshire, Sanborn (1839-1917) was a literature professor at Smith College and a well-known humorist. To escape the harsh New England winters and recover from a laundry list of illnesses (laryngitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, and grippe), she traveled to Southern California where she found the climate to be restorative and the scenery delightful. This work collects her impressions of such places as Coronado Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego, Pasadena, Riverside, Mount Wilson, and Santa Barbara, and includes practical travel advice and a discussion of Spanish words that are part of the culture and geography of California. Tan cloth binding, with gilt lettering and floral designs stamped in dark green and red. Bookplate. Ink signature and notation to the front endpaper. The front hinge is cracked. Some dust staining to the top edge. The spine is a bit sunned, with a few mild smudges to the rear board; otherwise a very good copy.
