Charles F. Lummis
Author, photographer, historian, archeologist, and preservationist Charles Fletcher Lummis stood tall in the affections of American Southwesterners at the turn of the 20th century. This work acquaints readers with a remarkable recorder of history.
American Character
Charles Fletcher Lummis began his spectacular career in 1884 by walking from Ohio to start a new job at the three-year old Los Angeles Times. By the time of his death in 1928, the 3,500 mile "tramp across the continent" was just a footnote in his astonishingly varied career: crusading journalist, author of nearly two dozen books, editor of the influential political and literary magazine Out West, Los Angeles city librarian, preserver of Spanish missions, and Indian rights gadfly. Lummis both embodied and defined our vision of the West, and of America itself.
Charles F. Lummis
The man, Charles F. Lummis, and his magazine, Out West, are the subjects of this vital and absorbing study. Lummis, an aggressive and talented editor, projected his personality and translated his ideas into action through the literary and promotional monthly that served, throughout the decade split by the turn of the 19th century, as the primary medium of cultural expression in southern California and the Southwest. This book has a shifting focus, now on editor Lummis, now on Out West, and frequently on both -- Book jacket.
