In Tamal Land

A travelogue of Marin County that blends vivid landscape description with local history and sketches of towns, shoreline, and inland scenery. It records approaches by ferry, harbor towns, hill roads, redwood canyons, mountain vistas, bays and rugged coastlines, and landmarks such as lighthouses and island outposts. Seasonal rural life—dairies, haying, fishing, apple and cheese production—and recreational routes by train and carriage receive attention alongside artisans, old adobes, and relics from earlier inhabitants. Natural phenomena like fog, dunes, and tides are observed, and occasional notes consider efforts to protect the region's scenic and artistic character.
