Los Angeles: Glen Dawson, 1957 One of 250 copies. Printed in Los Angeles on a Kelly, the later Nonpareil Press of Clyde Browne. Early California Travels Series XXXIX. Brick red cloth with a gilt-lettered spine. . Octavo. Illustrated title page; two plates and two facsimile newspaper leaves. Binding extremities very lightly rubbed, else a fine copy. The mere biographical information about T.S. Harris has always been very meagre and illusive; consequently, no definitive study of his life has ever been attempted...We feel that more than enough new data has been unearthed to justify a reevaluation of Harris...the authors of this study have relied almost entirely on primary sources: Harris' own writings, public records and the testimony of his contemporaries" (from the preface, pp. xi-xii).
