Description:
San Francisco: The Book Club of California, 1951 First book edition. One of 400 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press. Edited by George R. Stewart and Edwin S. Fussell. x, 88pp. Title and chapter headings printed in blue. Folding facsimile. Linen-backed blue marbled boards, paper spine label. Bookplate on inner cover. Spine a bit darkened. A fine copy. Eleven long letters dealing with San Francisco just after the Civil War, among the earliest of Harte's writings. Although the authorship of these letters was not evident, many were signed "F.B.H." and it has since been confirmed that these letters were, in fact, written by Harte. What is not known is why, although the writer seems to have been warming to his work rather than cooling, the letters abruptly ended. The folding facsimile is Edward Jump's famous 1866 lithograph, Steamer Day in San Francisco, with a key identifying all the players in the print. [BAL 7415; BCC 78; Grabhorn: 513]..
