California Sketches - Second Series - By Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald

Introduction:
A collection of stories about California, starting about 1860. The author is a Southern Methodist minister, so when pioneers came the the old south, his impressions are better than if the pioneer was a Yankee. The author shows many of the stereotypes of the time regarding race and religion. This is my 66th Project Guttenberg title.
