Published in 2006,this volume presents the remarkable account of
Joan Irvine Smith and the Irvine family, set against the backdrop
of California’s history. Smith has long felt a deep connection to
the Golden State, and it is this profound love that suffuses her
memoir. In describing her childhood, she speaks fondly of her visits
with her grandfather, James Irvine II. She spent her days accompanying
him on his inspections of the property, fishing and riding, all the
while imbibing her grandfather’s love for nature and for the land
and animals under his care.
