“The little girl first reached San Francisco in its earliest days. When the book closes, San Francisco is the great metropolis of the West. Giving the life story of the ‘little girl’ from her childhood past her wedding-day, the author also pictures the changes and growth of the city.”—Outlook.

“In fact, though Dr. Douglas has trod in paths that had been pretty well blazed out and explored before him, he has achieved a work of value.”
