Southern California as a Paradise for Winter Seekers
An 1887 essay extols Southern California as a rising, prosperous winter haven. Pasadena flourishes with churches, hotels, rail lines, and looming growth toward a 50,000 population, while Santa Monica and Long Beach attract visitors with sea air, canons, and mountain views. Resorts at San Juan by the Sea and Catalina Island are highlighted as real estate booms, with warnings about speculative town layouts and fraud.
