About this Item
This first edition is in very good condition but lacks the dust jacket as issued. The brown cloth cover is in bright condition with only a noticeable bump to the top right corner and several very small reddish specks on the lower spine to note as cover issues. The interior has one defect to note - one signature of four numbered pages has pulled free of the binding but is present and is in its proper location. There is a previous owners book plate in the front, otherwise, the interior is in all but fine condition. The authors' picture, opposite the title page, carries an inscription from the author dated December 4, 1938. This book offers a good general history of California's San Joaquin Valley beginning with the early exploration by the Spanish and moving into the Mexican period. The book has considerable information on the American period beginning with John Marsh and Charles Webber. The book contains twenty illustration with both sketches and photographs and the very nice folded map on page thirty-one is present and in fine condition. 316 pages. Seller Inventory # 1505-267
