- The book begins: The land of El Carmelo, with its mystic surroundings, nestles in the heart of a pine forest on the California coast near the historical pueblo of Monterey.

On the balconies of their adobe dwellings during the later Spanish possession and the early Mexican acquisition, flashing dark-eyed senoritas had throbbed to the rhythm of the guitar strings swept by the soft, pulsating fingers of the gallant caballeros.
