Yermah the Dorado

About this book

Long before San Francisco existed, a beautiful city called Tlamco stands where the modern landscape would one day appear. Its ruler, Yermah, belongs to a people whose origins lead back to Atlantis.

Frona Eunice Wait's lost-race romance transforms California into a stage for ancient civilisation, spiritual teaching and dramatic conflict. Its vision blends Theosophical ideas with speculative history and racial assumptions that deserve critical attention. The novel is remarkable for the detail of its imagined prehistoric city and for the way an American setting becomes part of the Atlantis myth.
