: Good. Ex-library with half-leather binding with Somerset East Library gilt stamped on spine. Front hinge cracked. Cover has what looks like heat damage to the head, and some chipping of the board covers. Book otherwise in good condition. Granite crags (1884) is a volume of her travel letters detailing visits to San Rafael, the redwood forests, the San JoaquÃn and Sacramento Valleys, Yosemite, Oakland, and Tulare Lake. She evinces great interest in hydraulic mining operations and quartz mining near Sonora and the Stanislaus River and gives special attention to the region's botany and agriculture as well as recounting tales of the Gold Rush and San Francisco in the lawless 1850s.
