Written by journalist Nancy Zubiri, the newly updated second edition of A Travel Guide to Basque America: Families, Feasts, and Festivals is an amazing guide to Basque-American communities, particularly the ones found in California, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana. From a brief history of Basque immigration and culture, to traditional Basque recipes, customs and polite rules of etiquette to abide by in Basque communities, and more, A Travel Guide to Basque America is the "must-have" reference for anyone interested in experiencing this unique and proud culture. A conversational narrative style spells out the locations of restaurants and popular festivals, while black-and-white maps and photographs serve as visual aids.

My great grandfather came to San Francisco in 1849 and built the first Basque Hotel in the entire western
United States and of course he is listed here and i found the first photo of him standing in front of his
own hotel which no one else in my family had ever seen before in this modern times.
The lady did a fantastic review in this thorough work that would do any Basque proud for sure
Interesting reading too and a good review and current reference to what Basque hotels and restaurants
are open even to this day. Fun reading
