Book Synopsis San Luis Obispo by : Janet Penn Franks
Download or read book San Luis Obispo written by Janet Penn Franks and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Luis Obispo was founded in 1772 as a mission in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains on California's Central Coast. The city that grew from a rustic pueblo, with its scattering of adobe buildings, today has a wealth of architectural styles. From the simple barns of the outlying farm community, to the grand hotels and lively saloons kept busy by the Southern Pacific Railroad depot, and back full circle to the Mission Revival style edifices of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo's architecture has echoed its history. Motor travel brought the world's first motel to this half-way point on California's historic Highway 101, and the famously zany tourist attraction, the Madonna Inn.

Despite attempts to stem the tide of crime with a vigilante committee and a string of executions, notorious men continued to be drawn to the central coast well into the next century. The James brothers, the Daltons and even Al Capone made their mark here, while lawmen worked to tame this piece of the western frontier. Author Jim Gregory details nefarious activities lost to time.

Book Synopsis Cambria Century by : Stephen H. Provost
Download or read book Cambria Century written by Stephen H. Provost and published by Dragon Crown Books. This book was released on 2021-07-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a little village, a lot has happened in Cambria. It's on the road to Hearst Castle and the most scenic stretch of Highway 1, where you can see zebras roaming beside the freeway and elephant seals lounging in the sun. But it's also a destination in its own right, where a rare stand of Monterey pines meets the sea, and where dozens of lively shops and galleries lie nestled at the base of the green Santa Lucia foothills. Former Cambrian editor Stephen H. Provost takes you on a journey through the 20th century in Cambria, one of California's favorite places to relax, retire, and sometimes have a lively debate. Cambria Century is part of his Century Cities series, which he created to celebrate and preserve the history of midsized and smaller American cities from 1900 to 1999. It contains a wealth of anecdotes, some 150 contemporary and historic images, and details of familiar stories you thought you knew, all in an easy-to-read timeline format. Find out about the quicksilver mines and old saloons that made Cambria part of the wild, wild West. Learn about rodeos of the past and the birth of Pinedorado, Cambria's annual Labor Day weekend celebration. Visit San Simeon, at the doorstep to Hearst Castle, and Harmony, the town that's had 18 residents for as long as anyone can remember. Did you know Cambria once had its own movie house and (despite an aversion to national chains), a tiny park on Main Street, and an A&W drive-in? Cambria Century will take you to William Randolph Hearst's castle and Art Beal's anti-castle overlooking the West Village. You'll return to the Toy Soldier Factory, the Pewter Plough Playhouse, the Chuck Wagon, Exotic Gardens, Lyons' Red & White store, Comozzi's, the Rigdon Building, Bank of America, and the Bluebird Inn. And that's just the beginning. The pioneer years of the 19th century boom and recent developments in the new millennium hold many tales of their own. Cambria Century tells the story of what happened in between.

Book Synopsis The Bridge of San Luis Rey by : Thornton Niven Wilder
Download or read book The Bridge of San Luis Rey written by Thornton Niven Wilder and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story is based on a fictional disaster that occurred in Peru on July 20, 1714. A rope bridge woven by the Incas on the road between Lima and Cuzco collapsed when five people were crossing it. They all fell into the river from a great height and were killed. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan friar who was about to cross the bridge himself, witnessed the tragedy. Being deeply pious, he saw in what happened a possible divine providence. Did the dead deserve to have their lives cut short in such a terrible way? The monk tries to learn as much as he can about the five victims, finding and questioning people who knew them. As a result of years of investigation, he compiles a voluminous book with all the evidence he has gathered that the beginning and end of human life are part of God's plan... The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the 1928 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, and remains widely acclaimed as Wilder's most famous work. In 1998, the book was rated number 37 by the editorial board of the American Modern Library on the list of the 100 best 20th-century novels. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
Book Synopsis Women and the Conquest of California, 1542-1840 by : Virginia M. Bouvier
Download or read book Women and the Conquest of California, 1542-1840 written by Virginia M. Bouvier and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the Spanish conquest in the Americas traditionally have explained European-Indian encounters in terms of such factors as geography, timing, and the charisma of individual conquistadores. Yet by reconsidering this history from the perspective of gender roles and relations, we see that gender ideology was a key ingredient in the glue that held the conquest together and in turn shaped indigenous behavior toward the conquerors. This book tells the hidden story of women during the missionization of California. It shows what it was like for women to live and work on that frontierÑand how race, religion, age, and ethnicity shaped female experiences. It explores the suppression of women's experiences and cultural resistance to domination, and reveals the many codes of silence regarding the use of force at the missions, the treatment of women, indigenous ceremonies, sexuality, and dreams. Virginia Bouvier has combed a vast array of sourcesÑ including mission records, journals of explorers and missionaries, novels of chivalry, and oral historiesÑ and has discovered that female participation in the colonization of California was greater and earlier than most historians have recognized. Viewing the conquest through the prism of gender, Bouvier gives new meaning to the settling of new lands and attempts to convert indigenous peoples. By analyzing the participation of womenÑ both Hispanic and IndianÑ in the maintenance of or resistance to the mission system, Bouvier restores them to the narrative of the conquest, colonization, and evangelization of California. And by bringing these voices into the chorus of history, she creates new harmonies and dissonances that alter and enhance our understanding of both the experience and meaning of conquest.

Book excerpt: California's 21 missions are moving historical reminders of the first non-Native American forays onto the American Pacific Coast. From 1769 to 1823, Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries founded missions from San Diego to Sonoma, all of which can still be visited today. From the story of Father Junipero Serra's tortuous journey to establish the first mission in San Diego to the well-known legend of the swallows of San Juan Capistrano, here are the unique histories of the jewels of El Camino Real. This beautiful photographic celebration of Spain's religious contribution to the Golden State features both historic and modern photographs with interior and exterior images of the gardens, grounds, and various mission complex buildings.
