Carmen of the Golden Coast

160 pp. Photographic illustrations. Seen through the eyes of little Carmen, our magnificent Golden Coast is a vivid, thrilling Wonderland, from her home in Los Angeles this wide awake child, travelling by car with her parents, is entranced with the beauties of Tahoe, the Redwood forests, Yosemite, Crater Lake and towering Mt. Hood, and equally thrilled by the great, throbbing cities of San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. And while she travels, she reads the diary her great-aunt had kept, making the same trip back in the days when that vast territory was "the Oregon Country" and people were pouring in from every section of the country in the mad rush for gold.
