About this ebook:
The following sketches are entirely informal. They do not cover the subject of Southern California in any way. In fact, they contain no information whatever, either about the missions or history-a little, perhaps, about the climate and the fruits and flowers of the earth, but that has crept in more or less unavoidably. They are the record of what happened to happen to a fairly light-hearted family who left New England in search of rest and health. There are six of us, two grown-ups, two boys, and two dogs. We came for a year and, like many another family, have taken root for all our days-or so it seems now.

Enjoy the ultimate reading experience. We've made it easy for you to discover and access The smiling hill-top and other California sketches. Illustrated by Carleton M.Winslow. 1925 [Leather Bound] by Julia M. Sloane. Perfect for unwinding at home or reading on the go.
