Author: Libbie Agran and Heather Muran with the Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In the mid-1800s, fortune seekers from around the world flocked to California, but not all of them ended up in the gold fields. Many settled in San Luis Obispo County, drawn by the Mediterranean climate perfect for planting a familiar crop: grapevines. Local viticulture originated with the Spanish Missions, but it blossomed with the influx of intrepid adventurers. Growers and winemakers like Pierre Dallidet, an immigrant who helped save the French wine industry, and Henry Ditmas and James Anderson, who were the first to plant Zinfandel grapes, established vineyards and set about crafting award-winning wine in the fertile soil of Central California. Join the experts at the Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County as they share the unique stories of these legendary winemakers.

Cambria Century
Author: Stephen H. Provost
Publisher: Dragon Crown Books
ISBN: 9781949971224
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
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.
