C.] Boykin in which The Colorado River is released into its original channel, cutting off water to Cali. “Final Flight” by B. Opperman is a story of escape from Cali. “Freedom’s Ride” by L. B. Johnson is a story of escape from Cali. “The Farm” by Eaton Rapids Joe describes the authoritarian liberalism of Cali and the damage it does. “By Hook and Crook” by Lawdog [pseud.] is an escape story.
