A review by the Twentieth Century Western Writers says: ...is set in 1835 in California, and has a very complicated plot. But it is a real attempt at a historical novel, even though the mystery of the parentage of the two rival girls undercuts the accuracy of the hacienda based rivalry for the two families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
