Book excerpt: The Coast Miwok and the early friars of Mission Dolores chose San Rafael both for its good weather and running streams, and the mission was named after the Archangel Raphael, the patron saint of bodily healing. When looking for a country estate, many wealthy San Franciscans sought the clean air and ideal weather here to escape the city's damp fog. San Rafael grew fast thereafter--it was the first city in Marin County to incorporate, the first to build a railroad, and the first to build a luxury hotel. San Rafael is the seat of county government, the center of commerce, and a cosmopolitan community in a natural setting. The dusty village of long ago was refined by fine schools and churches, the coming of the library, and by the ambitious efforts of the San Rafael Improvement Club. These early efforts made this a charming place to live, with Victorian homes, sylvan streets, and historic buildings in the business district. The pioneers would be pleased with the state of today's San Rafael.

This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1911, the Marin Journal, forerunner of the Marin Independent Journal, published a special Golden Anniversary edition commemorating its first fifty years of publication. Sixteen pages long and printed on book-quality paper, the edition consisted entirely of a series of illustrated articles about each community in Marin County, written by a local correspondent, extolling the virtues of their towns. These give an intriguing view of how local residents viewed their communities, their progress, and their hopes for the future. The pride and their hopes glow through their words. The special edition was followed by a series of weekly articles detailing the history of Marin County. While there are inaccuracies, these articles were written when many of the founding pioneers of the county were still alive, and contain much information not available elsewhere. While there are many histories of California, this series focuses on Marin County and describes the people and events that made the county and formed its culture. Taken together, the special edition and the history articles give an intimate look at the county as seen by its founders and residents more than a century ago. Transcribed, edited, and annotated by local San Anselmo historian Brian K. Crawford.

Book excerpt: This is the story of two small towns, Bolinas and Stinson Beach, and the body of water that separates and joins them. Although San Francisco's packed urban skyline is visible from its shores, this part of West Marin is isolated in spirit and in fact. For thousands of years the territory of the Coast Miwok Indians, this land became the six-mile-long Briones Mexican land grant, a ranch that lasted less than a decade before being overrun with entrepreneurs, farmers, and failed gold miners. The towns that they built have been visited by earthquake, shipwreck, forest fires, ranchers, rumrunners, bohemians, and the National Park Service, and all of these have shaped their story. While Bolinas maintained its spirit of isolation, removing the road sign that might beckon visitors, Stinson Beach grew from a tent camp for urban refugees to a favorite coastal beach town visited by millions annually.

Book excerpt: Against the starkly beautiful backdrop of Anchorage, Alaska, where she grew up, Marin Sardy weaves an extraordinarily affecting, fiercely intelligent account of the shapeless thief—the schizophrenia—that kept her mother immersed in a world of private delusion and later also manifested in her brother, ultimately claiming his life. Composed of exquisite, self-contained chapters that take us through three generations of this adventurous, artistic, and often haunted family, The Edge of Every Day draws in topics from neuroscience and evolution to the mythology and art rock to shape its brilliant inquiry into how the mind works. In the process, Sardy casts new light on the treatment of the mentally ill in our society. Through it all runs her blazing compassion and relentless curiosity, as her meditations takes us to the very edge of love and loss—and signal the arrival of an important new literary voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Marin County is intimately connected with the birth and early growth of the state of California. Marin is home to one of the last Spanish missions and the location of the lone battle of the Bear Flag Revolt, which led to California statehood. At that time, Marin was a pastoral paradise that supplied most of the raw materials for the exploding population of Gold Rush Era San Francisco. Fifty years later, its temperate climate and the devastation wrought by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire brought on a veritable "land rush'? to the region. The photographs in this book capture moments in time that tell the story of a people and land that have shaped Marin's past, present, and future. Working closely with the staff of the Marin History Museum, Scott Fletcher has carefully selected images from the museum's collection and brought their stories to life in a series of articles that first appeared in the Marin Independent Journal newspaper. The image subjects are diverse, including landscapes, towns, people, businesses, homes, and modes of transportation representing all geographic areas of the county.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a long-time Deputy Sheriff in Marin County, Weldon lived through some very interesting times relevant to law enforcement, participating in fighting the most vicious crimes emananting from the hottest issues of the day. His many memorable experiences, in and out of uniform, were always in the interests of keeping the peace. The book's subtitle, ". . . in Wild and Wooly West Marin; a collection of vivid vignettes," says a lot about its contents. The author's tales brim with a variety of countercultural events, and the many ways that humans succumb to evil and occasionally rise in redemption. Many revelations are devilishly humorous but all reflect the image of a conscientious man who has, fortunately for Marin County and California society, invested the major part of his life in keeping the sane balance between extremes of behavior found in the Golden State.

Book excerpt: You can leave Belvedere and Tiburon, but Belvedere-Tiburon never leaves you. Paige Peterson discovered that when she moved to New York City. For many years now, she has visited Belvedere, where she stays with her mother in the house her grandfather built on the Belvedere Lagoon.Paige and her sister packed sandwiches in paper bags and rode off on their bikes to explore the Tiburon Peninsula. Swimming, sailing, hiking, clamming, daredevil bike riding-their day was a long, unsupervised adventure. There was no interaction with parents until the Tiburon Fire Department blew the 4:30 whistle, signaling that it was time to head home. Her family's photographs confirm the story of fit, sun-kissed kids enjoying a charmed, idyllic childhood.Dave Gotz, the Archivist for the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society, deepens that personal story with archival photographs. His captions reveal his extensive knowledge of Tiburon Peninsula history: Mexican Ranchos, Portuguese dairymen, the many changes on Beach Road, Main Street, the Lagoon and the Cove, the importance of the railroad.Along the way, Paige and Dave showcase some of the area's remarkable characters. Tiburon's "Goat Lady," who so loved nature that she donated her land for open space. Blackie the horse. The artists who lived on West Shore and created a bohemian colony. And the residents of Belvedere and Tiburon who, again and again, rallied to protect open land and the special charm of their towns.Taken together, Paige's cinematic stories and Paige and Dave's curated images and capsule histories deliver an authoritative portrait of a historically diverse community.

Book excerpt: "The publication of this book marks a time of transition for the Marin Headlands. After 100 years of military occupation, obscure and off limits to the public, the Marin Headlands, under the stewardship of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, are emerging into the light of public use. Headlands is a portrait of this place--hills, cliffs, beaches, and coves unwittingly protected against the advances of commercial development by the army. The headlands are rich in historical significance, natural beauty, and environmental phenomena, and countless incidents of irony, juxtaposition, and camouflage. This book is a portrait of the quiet turnings and sudden grandeur of a wild place. It also tracks the process of discovery by five artists who began their explorations of the headlands in the fall of 1987."--from preface
