From San Francisco and Oakland, to San Diego and Santa Barbara, this California tour guide briefly describes cities and attractions from all over the state. Complete with a great number of photographs of the areas described. Attractions described within include: Cliff House, Del Monte, Golden Gat Park, Lick Observatory, Sausalito, Monterey, Stanford University, and more. An interesting feature is advertisements for outfitting for the Klondike and Alaska, and transport to the northern gold fields. A rare item, we could locate only two copies of the periodical, with unknown dates, at the San Francisco Public Library and the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Minor darkening and wear to wrappers; very good.
