Dedication:Last of the Californios is the third Copley Book on California's neighbor to the south. In a historical sense, Baja California is the "mother" of the California in which so many millions of us live today. Here began the trail that led to our California. Here in the mountains survive ways of life we once knew. Here, too, are found primitive art treasures our own state cannot match. With these books we have striven to enrich the knowledge and renew the relationship and understanding between the peoples of the two Californias. - Helen K. Copley Preface: CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS generations old often linger where people are separated from the mainstream of change. In the eastern United States, in parts of Appalachia and on sand islands of Chesapeake Bay, are communities where people still follow the ways of their ancestors. A similar situation found in the West - in Baja California - is the subject of this volume. High in the mountains, isolated from roads, resorts, and coastal cities, are small enclaves where people live much in the manner common to the area two centuries ago. How and why some early settlers of Baja California, of largely European descent, retreated into the mountain fastnesses and remained apart is examined in this book. In it, we glimpse something of the way of life in both Alta and Baja California nearly ten generations ago. - RICHARD F. POURADE Table Of Contents: 1. A Day At Sierra Ranch. 2. Gente De Razon. 3. The Contest For Land. 4. Picturing The Californios. 5. The Sierra De Guadalupe. 6. New Lamps For Old. 7. A Man Of The Mountains. Epilogue. Acknowledgements. Glossary. Bibliography. Index.

'Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.' - T.S. Eliot in his preface to Harry Crosby's collection of poems Transit of Venus . Harry Crosby has been put forward as the embodiment of 'The Lost Generation' of American writers who travelled to Europe in the 1920s and appeared to question the American way of life. His poetry stemmed from his love of European poets such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Lautreamont and has more to do with symbolism, surrealism and futurism than more traditional forms of poetry. A complicated and passionate poet he deserves to be read. It may only be the tragic circumstances of his death, a doomed love and a presumed double suicide, that may have stopped Crosby becoming a major literary figure. This second edition of Harry Crosby's poetry now includes more poems and also extracts from his diaries from 1922 to his untimely death in 1929.

Poetry. Edited by Gian Lombardo. For the first time ever, this volume collects together all of Harry Crosby's published prose poems, including the complete texts for Crosby's Dreams 1928-1929, Sleeping Together, Aphrodite in Flight: Being Some Observations on the Aerodynamics of Love, and Torchbearer, plus selections from Chariot of the Sun and Mad Queen. Originally these Black Sun Press titles were limited edition books and have been out of print for years and available only to serious book collectors. Active in the late 1920s, Crosby was the first poet writing in English to produce a significant body of prose poetry. He synthesized a great deal of the cultural elements of post-World War I Europe: Symbolism, Dadaism and Surrealism. At the time, he was a bold experimenter in form and content. This book also includes essays by Robert Alexander and Bob Heman, plus an introduction by Gian Lombardo.
