Historic houses of California walks you through Gothic residences where turrets and buttresses abound, storybook cottages and adobes of yesteryear,and even a stone castle whose walls house the ashes of its builder. This is a stroll through the past, through the worlds of robert Louis Stevenson and John Steinbeck. Learn of the tragic fire that destroyed Jack London's home the night before he was to move in, and of the red lava tombstome which marks his grave.
