"Stories of California" by Ella M. Sexton had the intent to recount in simple accurate narratives the early conditions and subsequent development of California. A Spanish story written four hundred years ago speaks of California as an island rich in pearls and gold. Only black women lived there, the story says, and they had golden spears, collars and harnesses of gold for the wild beasts that they had tamed to ride upon. This island was said to be on a ten days journey from Mexico, and was supposed to lie near Asia and the East Indies. Among those who believed such fairy tales about this wonderful island of California was Cortes, a Spanish soldier and traveler.
