Product Description
1930. Horace Bell left Indiana to seek gold in California. He then went on to serve as a Ranger who pursued Joaquin Murietta, a soldier of fortune in Latin America and a Union officer in the Civil War. After the war he returned to Los Angeles and became a lawyer and a newspaper editor. He provides lively anecdotes of Los Angeles and its residents under Mexican and American rule, emphasizing cowboys and criminals and native Americans. Throughout, Bell gives special attention to the fate of Hispanic Californians and Native Americans under the United States regime.
