In the 1950s Cabot A. Yerxa published 280 newspaper columns describing his struggles and joys as a Desert Hot Springs, CA-area homesteader from 1913 to 1918, his discovery of the miraculous hot water aquifer, his observations of desert life, and his friendships with Hollywood celebrities at the nearby B-bar-H Ranch in the 1930s and 40s. This generously illustrated book offers selections from those columns, plus related features.
