PFW' 'Wifi' While the United States was on the abyss of war and many of the students who now sit in his classes were 3,222 about to be born, Wallace- Smith published a book about the history of the San Joaquin Valley. W Q19 fl 'F 1 Nearly a quarter of a century later, his book, Carden of the Sun, has become the source book for the nation on tm . . . . . . :hu lil bil.-X matters pertainmg to the dlscovery, settling, and growth of the fertile, prosperous, and eventful San Joaquin Valley. , 51 s 1 The author of Garden of the Sun, and a later volume, Prodigal Sons, dealing with Evans and Sontag, tells about 'Hi himself: My birth occurred in the Bread and Butter state during the reign of William I, surnamed McKinley . . . ,M Kings River School, Tulare County, was my first alma mater. Since I was very young at the time I trust I'll be t ig pardoned for boasting that I was graduated second in my class.

Eff! He has taught at Reedley Junior College, and since 19418 at Fresno State. il' 4 1 Eel! 1 W Samuel Johnson said a biographer can better tell a person's life by talking to his servant than reading his :rs-at chronology from pedigree to funeral. And so it is with Wallace Smith: One can best know the man by listening to his lectures, talking to him on the run from class to class and reading his own works. ga 15 11111 '15 601' Wallace Smith doesn't look like a college professor. He looks more life a farmer or a salesman. He is tall, taller than he appears from behind a lectern. His arm-spread would draw envy from a center on a basketball team, His hands are the kind painters cherish, they have character. His face is lined with wisdom. When he tells an amusing E story his eyes glisten and the corners of his mouth turn up. His speech has something of the Mold westi' about it. af:-as W 11-'srl , 'FFF '5' '13 Wallace Smith,s importance cannot be accurately measured in words. He has done for the San Joaquin Valley is 'Q through a history book what John Steinbeck has done for the Salinas Valley in his novels. While Carden of the Sun an is an academic and definitive work of history, it is also a readable and enjoyable story about people and events. Wallace Smith's personable manner has transcended the pages of his books. Carden of the Sun is now in its fourth :.L.L,f.,4,::' J edition and first printings of both the books are collectors' items. img . , . . . . . .

He has forged a link with the past by recording its history. It may be his expression of the need to remember the past so the Valley denizens of today will leave W something for the future to look back on. - . lu- .1 ss: by J. C. Hickman 4 ..
