California Revisited; 1858-1897

Preface

She who makes two blades of grass grow where one
grew before is proverbially, at least, a benefactor ; so
should the author who grows the second book
have the same title.

But there are sour grasses, and books which sour on the pub-
lic, and reflectively on the author, so that the survivors of the
fittest are few.

That this is my second venture readers of my California
Tramp" will know. Those who do not will find by reading the
coming pages that the author visited the Pacific Coast in 1858;
so this is his second experience of Western travel.

To the tens of thousands who went on the Christian En-
deavor excursion the late tour to California was of interest from
that single journey ; mine was of double interest. To cross the
continent in six davs instead of six months ; to see towns and
cities, and gardens and orchards where I once saw .sage-brush
covered plains, and herds of cattle where the prairies had been
black with buffaloes, were indeed things to note.

While my last journey was mainly one of pleasure there were
disappointments mingled with it in my search for the acquaint-
ances and land-marks of my former stay in California; not one
did I find of the former, and of my old home I saw but its char-
red ruins from a recent fire, and much of that journey meant
work to get through with my sight-seeing before my fifty-day
excursion limit was cn(kd. A " weariness of the flesh" was a
good term for my condition, when after journeys by foot, stage
or rail, I traveled until after night-fall, then to work till mid-
night elaborating my notes. My vain searches in my old neigh-
borhoods, and consecjuent losses of valuable time, were disap-
pointments h'lrdly to i)e realized. I had not taken into ac-
count the length of lour decades, and the changes they might
bring. Besides much of the time I was traveling alone. My
experience was that congenial companionship is a great factor in
the enjoyment of travel.
