Summary "Sixty Years of California Song" by Margaret Blake-Alverson is a historical memoir written in the early 20th century. The volume recounts the author’s life journey intertwined with music, stretching from her family's musical heritage to her experiences in California. The narrative encompasses the author's childhood, professional singing career, and significant musical contributions to the development of the arts in California. At the start of the memoir, the author reflects on her childhood influenced by a musical family led by her father, a reverend, whose ministry shaped their lives. She reminisces about the family’s move to California during the Gold Rush, highlighting the challenges and adventures they faced. The opening sections emphasize her father's dedication to his ministry, the family’s early experiences of loss and longing, and how music became a transformative element in their lives, laying a foundation for Alverson's future in song and performance within the emerging cultural landscape of California.
