Horton. The purpose of this author is to introduce to San Diegans the man who was given The title Father, not by any religious sect, but by his fellow citizens who recognized him as the founder of their city. This little book cannot by any means do full justice to the subject, but its purpose will be accomplished if in some small way it serves to remind San Diegans that it was Alonzo E, Horton who first set this city in motion.
