This famous phrase, of course, is from Carey McWilliams, California: The Great Exception (1949; reprint, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998). Recent affirmations include, Lewis H. Lapham's "Foreword" in ibid., as well as the blurbs on the front and back covers; and Donald Pisani's review of True Gardens of the Gods: Californian-Australian Environmental Reform, 1860-1930, by Ian Tyrrell, American Historical Review 105 (February 2000): 181-82.

Several scholars have noted in passing the predominance of small wheat farms, including Gilbert C. Fite, "The Farmers' Frontier in California, 1850-1900," in The Farmers' Frontier, 1865-1900 (New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1966), 161; Forest G.
