Limited to 350 copies. A Breton sea captain, Duhaut-Cilly (1790-1849) was possibly the first outlander to become intimately acquainted with Spanish California. He seems to have been trusted by the Catholic padres who, he said, "would never have discussed these matters with an American or an Englishman." Printed nearly 70 years earlier in French and Italian and an incomplete English version in a journal, the Book Club's is the first full publication in English. The captain sailed up and down the California coast from Fort Ross to Cabo San Lucas for nearly two years, visiting most of the missions, as well as all the ports, presidios, and pueblos." Laid in is a program from the Historical Society of Southern California's 2002 Awards Luncheon, which honored the editors of this volume with the Norman Neuerburg Award, and a small card signed by August Fruge. Quarto: xxix, 252 p. with 2 tipped-in illustrations and reproductions of 11 historic photographs. Decorative blue paper-covered boards over a red cloth spine, with a printed paper spine label.
