Présentation de l'éditeur

From a tiainting feji Stetson. THE FIRST LADY CmARGARET COLLIER J1 GRAHAMS name was the first with the postoffice address, South Pasadena, after it, to appear in Who s. Who in A merica. Her first book, Stories of the Foothills, which won her recognition East and West, came from the press of Houghton-M ifflin Co. in 1895. It was based largely on the life in the San Gabriel Valley. Mrs. Graham was the wife of Donald M.- Graham, South Pasadena sfirst Mayor and builder with Dr. J. H. Mohr of the first business block here. As a subdividcr of his large acreage, he was one of the communitys founders. Wynyate, the Graham homestead, was one of the first pretentious houses in South Pasadena. Situated as it is, with the sweep of the whole San Gabriel Valley below, it is still one of the charming; homes of this city of homes. No wonder Margaret Collier Graham wrote inspiringly with such a view spread before her. At Wynyate were penned: The Wizard s Daughter, Gifts and Givers, Do They Really Respect Us and Other Essays, and Stories of the Foothills. Mrs. Graham ssister. Miss Jane E. Collier, was the first President of the Womens Improvement Association of South Pasadena and Mrs. Graham, herself, was the first President of the Friday Morning Club of Los A ngeles. She passed away January 17, 1910 at Wynyate.
