SANTOS'S BROTHER
1891 · San Francisc
by Loughead, Flora Haines
San Francisc: C.A. Murdock & Co., 1891. pp.[135]-196. 16mo. Original printed wrappers. Wrappers lightly worn. Very good. Untrimmed and unopened. In a half morocco and cloth folding case, spine gilt. This was the third in a series of monthly publications of short stories by Flora Loughead, called "The Gold Dust Series." This is the story of a boy raised on a California mission, who went on to a university education. Following that, in this same publication, is another short story called "Sealskin Annie." Under the name Flora Haines Apponyi (from a previous marriage) Loughead published a significant study of the private and public libraries of California. Her sons, Allan and Malcolm, would go on to form the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, forerunner of the aerospace giant. (Inventory #: WRCAM43840)
