"It is a wonderfully interesting and little known trip, that of the steamer journey from San Francisco to Sacramento, capital of California, through the Bay of San Francisco and up the Sacramento River, one hundred and twenty-five miles in all, with at least four unique things per mile to see and to admire. Traveling in a modern steamboat of the Southern Pacific, with wide promenades, luxurious salons, and cozy staterooms, is also far more comfortable, if not as romantic, than trailing Dutch waterways in a canal-boat. There is not a dull moment on the trip. The beauty of the scenery is enhanced by the varied costumes of the river-folk and those who fish and those who travel by the waterway."
