Author Description

Excerpt from Millionaires of a Day: An Inside History of the Great Southern California Boom <p>The history of such a craze seems worth writ ing. Much has, of course, been told about it; but no one, unless he had a hand in it and could see its inside working, can tell of it in its most important phases, and nothing would be history that did not follow the results of the folly to their end. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
