Excerpt from The Musgrove Ranch: A Tale of Southern California
The tree had flourished there generations before an American had set foot in the valley when the Musgrove Ranch had been a sheep walk, and Mexican shepherds had camped many and many a time under the dark, wide spreading branches. Now, in its Old age, it had a lordly carpet of blue grass spread about its feet, with groups of snow-white lilies and vivid geraniums brightening its solemn shade. There were garden seats, too, looking very modern under the gnarled old branches, and here the Musgrove family were seated this evening, as was their wont.
