About this book
A Start in Life. A Journey Across America. Fruit Farming in California is by C. F. Dowsett. The contents list, among others, A Suggestion to Persons Seeking a Start in Life, Special Advantages, Across America, Information About California, Merced and Price of Land. The text says the great drawback of California is want of water, and that intending settlers must not be satisfied by the statements of agents, or owners, that their lands have water advantages.
The special advantages offered to settlers at Merced include a permanent supply of water, since a perpetual water right accompanies every lot of land sold. The list of special advantages gives prices that range from 75 dollars to 150 dollars per acre. A passage about train robbers says the robbers shout out hands up, and one man points a weapon at a passenger's head while another rifles his pockets.
