Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


North they drove, through days of heat and dust, across the
California plains, and everywhere was manifest the "new"
farming--great irrigation ditches, dug and being dug, the land
threaded by power-lines from the mountains, and many new
farmhouses on small holdings newly fenced. The bonanza farms were
being broken up. However, many of the great estates remained,
five to ten thousand acres in extent, running from the Sacramento
bank to the horizon dancing in the heat waves, and studded with
great valley oaks.
