Caroline M. Nichols Churchill (b. 1833) first came to California from Chicago in 1870. Over the purple hills (1881) continues her tales of California begun in "Little Sheaves" (1874), beginning with an 1874 rail trip from San Francisco to Bartlett's Springs, Stockton, Napa, and Lake Tahoe. She also details undated visits to Yosemite Valley and Salt Lake City and a rail journey from Visalia to Monterey, Vallejo, and Placerville. Throughout she shows a sharp eye for matters of interest to women and tourists.
