Adobe days
Sarah Bixby Smith
Sheep were driven across the plains to reach the ranchos of old California, and a little girl grew up among them. Sarah Bixby Smith remembers adobe days on Rancho San Justo and Los Alamitos: her father's story, the great cattle and sheep spreads, and a vanished pastoral world. Vivid family memoir of frontier ranching life. Ride back into California when its ranchos still ran to the horizon.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
