From the dust jacket: "What gives Sixty Years in California its vitality and lasting appeal? The answer is that it is a very personal and unique account of a dusty, muddy adobe village emerging from pueblo days and of a young city rising in strength. With the wealth of individual recollections and the enormous number of its characters, it brings the world of old Los Angeles to life. It continues to be Southern California's landmark chronicle."
