Download or read book Ventura written by Glenda J. Jackson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franciscan monk Fr. Junipero Serra, founder of the Spanish mission system in California, raised a cross on the beach on March 31, 1782, at a spot that became a general wayfarer's midpoint between Los Angeles and Point Conception. This was the dedication of Mission San Buenaventura. Bordered by rivers out of the foothills, this coastal area had originally been home to many Chumash Indian villages, dating back to 1000 A.D. The small mission outpost quickly flourished and eventually grew into a town complete with dirt streets, wooden sidewalks, saloons, churches, and various adventures and calamities. On March 10, 1866, the "City of Good Fortune" incorporated and received one of the first charters from the then 16-year-old, 31st state in the union. Today the city of Ventura bustles with more than 110,000 residents and is known as the "Gateway to the Channel Islands."

Book Synopsis Filipinos in Ventura County by : Elnora Kelly Tayag
Download or read book Filipinos in Ventura County written by Elnora Kelly Tayag and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino immigrants came to Ventura County in the 1920s, beginning American lives mostly as farm laborers in work camps, notably the Arneill Ranch and Springville Ranch in Camarillo. They organized early societies like the Filipino Brotherhood Association of Ventura County, the Jordan Lodge 604 Legionarios del Trabajo, the Caballeros de Dimas Alang, the Filipino Optimist Club, and the Filipino Community of Ventura County. During World War II, Filipinos served in the 1st and 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiments of the U.S. Army. The omnipresence of the U.S. Navy in coastal Ventura prodded many second- and third-generation Filipinos to serve their country in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Persian Gulf. Today the same spirit of community engagement is illustrated in the 26 local Filipino organizations all under the umbrella of the Filipino American Council, which celebrates history, community, and culture.

Download or read book Art in California written by Jenni Sorkin and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the rich and diverse art of California, this book highlights its distinctive role in the history of American art, from early-20th-century photography to Chicanx mural painting, the Fiber Art Movement and beyond. Shaped by a compelling network of geopolitical influences including waves of migration and exchange from the Pacific Rim and Mexico, the influx of African Americans immediately after World War II, and global immigration after quotas were lifted in the 1960s, California is a centre of artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical boundaries. Furthermore, California was at the forefront of radical developments in artistic culture, most notably conceptual art and feminism, and its education system continues to nurture and encourage avant-garde creativity. Organized chronologically and thematically with illustrations throughout, this attractive study stands as an important reassessment of Californias contribution to modern and contemporary art in the United States and globally.
Download or read book Fledgling written by Octavia E. Butler and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fledgling, Octavia Butler’s last novel, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly un-human needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: she is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of "otherness" and questions what it means to be truly human.

Book Synopsis Ventura County California History 1782-1917 by : Edwin M. Sheridan
Download or read book Ventura County California History 1782-1917 written by Edwin M. Sheridan and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on several books published between 1890 and 1917; but mostly from the book, History Of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties California. Sheridan, who wrote the Ventura section, was a Ventura County Pioneer and a partner with the "Signal Newspaper", Ventura's first newspaper. Ventura was a part of the Santa Barbara County. On April 13, 1875, final settlement was effected with Santa Barbara County under the terms of the Act of March 22, 1872.The time of the founding of the mission may be traced the beginning of Ventura County. This was on March 31, 1782. San Buenaventura, the County seat, in the beginning had more than one name. Indeed, there were no less than three names given the locality before the advent of Father Junipero Serra, the Franciscan founder of the Mission church. To begin with the Indians of the neighborhood called the place Zucu. What the meaning of this word is has never been learned. The Indian tribes in California were small and there was a wide diversity in the languages of the several tribes, and tracing the meaning of Indian words has always puzzled those who delve into such things. The expedition under Don Rodriguez called the place Pueblo de las Canoes. And later, the overland expedition of Gaspar Portola, traveling from San Diego to locate Monterey, named the place Asuncion de Nuestra Senora. The latter found the native Indians busy at boat-making and reported that many of them took to the sea and traveled the channel waters between the mainland and the islands. It was Father Serra who gave the name San Buenaventura to the location. This was in honor of the Seraphic Doctor and friend of Saint Francis, the founder of the Order of Friars Minor.—The beginnings of an American settlement in a new country are always interesting to succeeding generations and we owe it to them that the annals and the traditions of the Pioneers should be recorded. —T.R. Bard, August 31, 1907

Book Synopsis Hiking and Backpacking Santa Barbara and Ventura by : Craig R. Carey
Download or read book Hiking and Backpacking Santa Barbara and Ventura written by Craig R. Carey and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named for the Spanish padres who established a network of missions along California's southern and central coasts, the Los Padres National Forest is the second-largest National Forest in the state, encompassing approximately 1,950,000 acres - nearly half of which is federally-designated wilderness. Hiking and Backpacking Santa Barbara and Ventura fills a huge gap in coverage of this great hiking and backpacking destination, leading the reader through the varied terrain of the forest's southern districts, from the fern-clad grottoes of the Santa Barbara frontcountry to the sweeping vistas and granite-clad ridges of the Chumash Wilderness.No other guide covers the region in such detail, and not since Dennis Gagnon's near-legendary guides in the 70s and 80s has the Santa Barbara (and Ventura) backcountry been given the guidebook treatment ... but this book goes even further. Every official trail (and many use trails) in the Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Mt. Pinos districts are covered here, including those in the southern San Rafael Wilderness, Dick Smith Wilderness, Matilija Wilderness, Sespe Wilderness, Chumash Wilderness, the Santa Ynez Recreation Area, Rose Valley, the Santa Barbara and Montecito frontcountry, the Ojai frontcountry, and the Santa Paula/Fillmore frontcountry.
