Excerpt from History of the Mission, Presidio and Pueblo of Sonoma Of California, it may be said that every foot is historic and sacred ground. The Sonoma country is extraordinarily rich in tradition and lore. It has long waited a pen adequate to give it full treatment. Such a pen is possessed by the author of the present volume. Miss Tuomey is well known as a writer and author 011 matters historic, and has associated with her in this work, Mrs. Luisa Vallejo Emparan, daughter of General M. G. Vallejo, founder of Sonoma. Every student of history in the country will welcome Mission, Presidio and Pueblo of Sonoma. No one so well as Miss Tuomey is prepared to speak of those stirring and dramatic scenes enacted during the Spanish regime. The founding of the old Mission and the history of the civilization. That grew up around Sonoma are interesting in the extreme. The Russian settle ment and occupation furnish a chapter in the development of California and of the country all too little known. This is a chapter that none so well as our present author is prepared to tell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
