Anotace knihy

This profusely illustrated volume is rich in history and biographical information. The author develops a informative history of this important section of the Pacific Coast from the earliest period of its occupancy to the present time, together with glimpses of its prospective future; with profuse illustrations of its beautiful scenery, full-page steel portraits of its most eminent men, and biographical mention of many of its pioneers and also of prominent citizens of today. The counties of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura form the region best known as the California Central Coast. Mrs. Storke's history of these three counties is essentially a narrative account of each county from their aboriginal beginnings through the 19th Century, and is organized around standard institutional themes, such as early settlers and settlements; land grants, local government; politics; courts; churches and the religious establishment; education and schools; travel and transportation; growth and development; industry, including ranching, agriculture, oil, and mining; newspapers, and the professions. The remaining 400 plus pages are devoted to biographical sketches of the counties residents. Most all of these sketches contain informative and useful material including date and place of birth, marriages, family information, military service, trade or professional experience, land holdings, and life experiences. Paperback, (1891), repr. 2012, Illus., Index, 700 pp.
