Sarah Bixby Smith recalls the adobe days of her girlhood on the great ranchos of early California, when the old Spanish world was giving way to the American. Warm and evocative, it preserves a vanished frontier life. A charming memoir for anyone drawn to old California and the last of its pastoral age.
