Adobe Days : Being The Truthful Narrative of The Events in The Life of A California Girl on A Sheep Ranch and In El Pueblo De Nuestra Señora De Los ... of Admiral Thatcher About San Pedro Harbor
Adobe Days is a vivid and heartfelt memoir that brings early California to life through the eyes of Sarah Bixby Smith. Blending personal recollection with regional history, Smith recounts her experiences growing up on a sheep ranch and living in the humble, still-growing pueblo that would one day become Los Angeles. Her narrative captures the rugged beauty, social rhythms, and cultural transformations of Southern California during a pivotal period in its development.
The book also chronicles the remarkable overland journey of three young men from Maine in 1853 as they drove sheep and cattle across plains, deserts, and mountain ranges on their way to the Pacific Coast. Interwoven with prophecy, hardship, adventure, and community, this work provides a rare dual life in early California and the daring migration that helped shape its future. Richly detailed and historically valuable, *Adobe Days* is essential reading for those interested in Western history, pioneer life, and the origins of modern California.
