California Burlesque From a Michigan Grower Letter
A Michigan man now living in California writes a letter to Herbert Montagar, superintendent, offering a critical, humorous view of California culture and boosters. He recalls California history from its gold rush to railroads, praises or mocks figures like Joluson and boosters, and contrasts real estate, wine, and fruit industries with Michigan farming. He urges caution for investors, noting mixed fortunes and a harsh climate for growers.
