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.
