MILLER, Max Harbor of the Sun. 1st in dj.
Doubleday, Doran, 1940,
MILLER, Max. Harbor of the Sun : The Story of the Port of San Diego. NY: Doubleday, Doran, 1940. First Edition. Pp 329. Frontis., 7 leaves of plates. 8vo, red cloth. The Seaport Series. The...history of San Diego...is dramatic, changing, tragic- at times even serio-comic. The story of the padres and the founding of the missions, with the attendant subjugation and degradation of the Indians, weaves an ironic pattern throughout the history. We read of the coming of the Spanish, of Stockton and the almost comically misplaced Daniel Boone, and the battle which they fought with the caballeros; of pirates and heroes and romance and intrigue and the bitter defeat of the Californians; of all the amazing events which brought San Diego to the twentieth century, when the sharp bows of naval vessels and the pontoons of seaplanes churn the waters which once curved before the Victoria and San Salvador." -from the dj. Very slight edgewear, else vg in spine-sunned, slightly rubbed, nicked dj. 90.00
