About This Item
Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1890. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 193 pp + 3 pages of ads for Raymond's Vacation Excursions. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering, floral-patterned endpapers. Rubbing to extremities, one scuff mark on front board, but still an attractive copy. The author recounts her experiences on an extended Raymond and Whitcomb tour, which took her across the country from Boston to California and back again. Includes chapters on Pasadena, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Riverside, San Diego, Sonoma County, and Santa Cruz, and two chapters on Yosemite. She visited Salt Lake City on the return trip. Flake (2398) describes the relevant section of her book thus: "A visit to Utah after 'polygamy was dead.' She attends a meeting at the Mormon tabernacle." Clark was also a healer and lecturer on spiritual topics.
