This antique book recounts the author's visit to the South Sea islands in 1864 in the form of letters to a friend. Stoddard, who was part of the "Crowd," an informal group of artists that frequented Carmel, California (including Jack London, Joaquin Miller, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Austin and others), writes in a style of endearing charmed delight. Stoddard edited and published the first incarnation of the Overland Monthly magazine, along with Bret Harte and Ina Coolbirth. This first edition is bound in blue cloth boards, with gilt lettering on the front and spine. Page edges are red. Blue coated endpapers. Some cover wear; spine slightly browned. Front cover has crease. Hinges slightly weak. Small water spot at bottom of first couple of pages. Most inside pages clean and unmarked. 354 pages; approx. 4"x6".
