Last year I reviewed Sarah Vowell’s book “Unfamiliar Fishes” for the San Francisco Chronicle. It’s an uneven book, but recently I’ve learned of a book by Julia Flynn Siler that appears much more promising: Lost Kingdom.
I look forward to reading Siler’s book, “a tale of one of the most breathtaking land grabs of the Gilded Age.” In the meantime, click here for my review of “Fishes.”
