These folktales of early pioneer life in the Redwood country of California deal with Indians, Spanish and Mexican rule, settlement, land quarrels, lost mines, and buried treasure. Also included in the collection are three articles on miscellaneous topics, and a poem by Hector Lee, written in memoriam for John F. Kennedy.
