Contains an engraved frontispiece portrait with tissue guard and six folded facsimile letters, light offsetting to text. Handwritten letter by the author to Col. Lamb attached to front flyleaf. In addition to commenting on the book, Washburne writes: "...I shall always guard the most agreeable souvenirs of my visit to the Old Dominion and of the many marked courtesies I received at your hand. / Should you ever visit Chicago, I shall expect the pleasure of entertaining you at my house. / I am, very truly yours, E.B. Washburne." (Graff 4552). Elihu B. Washburne (1816-1887) was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for the state of Illinois, serving from 1853-1869. An ardent abolitionist, Washburne was a leader among the Radical Republicans in Congress. During the Civil War, he was a strong supporter of President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant. When Grant was elected president in 1868, Washburne briefly served as Secretary of State, then was appointed Minister to France. In retirement, Washburne wrote a memoir of his time spent in France, titled Recollections of a Minister to France, 1869-1877. The work was published shortly before his death in 1887.

The story, by Clark's daughter, is told against a backdrop of early California and San Francisco history. Includes an added 24 pages from The Genealogical Magazine on the family of Abraham Clark, signer of the Declaration of Independence. The second part of the book tells the story of Lone Mountain and of Laurel Hill, Lone Mountain's most important cemetery.
