"Published by the Friends of the Bancroft Library in collaboration with the California Arboretum Foundation, Inc." Susanna Bryant Dakin (nee Bryant; 1905-1966) was an American author and historian. While Dakin initially specialized in Southern California history, she came to research and write about Northern California as well. Dakin was active in a number of literary and botanical societies. She was one of the original members of the California Arboretum Foundation (which created the Los Angeles Arboretum in 1947), a fellow of the California Historical Society, and a founding sponsor of the Friends of the Library association. She was also involved with the Friends of the Bancroft Library, the Society of Asian Art, the American Field Service, Marin Country Day School, and Scripps College. Brothers Lawton Kennedy (1900-1980) and Alfred Kennedy (?-?) were both noted Bay Area printers. Lawton opened his own press in 1952 and worked with other noted Bay Area printers including John Henry Nash, Johnck & Seeger, Jane Grabhorn's Colt Press, and Albert Sperisen's Black Vine Press.
