Excerpt from Rand, McNally and Co, 'S Guide to Southern California Direct: Narrative, Historical, Descriptive, With Notes on California at Large Perhaps there are few people who stop to think of the possibilities of travel in modern times, especially over some of the immense distances west of the Missouri.

That which was utterly unknown to the most splendid civilizations of the past is in our time the chief power of civilization, daily engaged in making that history of a new era that is yet to be written in words. It has been demonstrated long since that men's lives are to be influenced not by theory, or belief, or argument and reason, so much as by that course of daily life which is not attempted to be governed by argument and reason, but by gr...
