Book
West Coast journeys, 1865-1879 : the travelogue of a remarkable woman / by Caroline C. Leighton ; introduction and notes by David M. Buerge.
New England-born Caroline Leighton traveled fearlessly throughout California and the Pacific Northwest during the mid-19th century. This journal of her travels-one of the most perceptive early accounts of the region-vividly describes a crucial period in the settlement of the West Coast frontier. Her keen eyes noticed details: baby lizards on the boardwalks of San Francisco, the merits of fireproof sagebrush, the nuances of a Makah marriage ceremony. Leighton's bold refusal to stereotype individuals and her willingness to embrace the wild country around her enable readers to fully appreciate her independent courage and the rigors of remarkable journey."--Publisher's description.
