5.0 out of 5 stars A human and cultural history of the region, December 8, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Ghost Towns Of The Santa Cruz Mountains is a human and cultural history of the region covers the California mountains from 1850 to the middle of this century, examining the lives of early settlers in a lively manner which reads like newspaper stories. Individual chapters cover various aspects of mining and logging, the rough living conditions, and is well written treatise that will appeal to anyone with an interest in regional California history and culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Santa Cruz Mountains SO MUCH HISTORY!, January 22, 2007
My Parents bought land off Loma Prieta Ave. in the Santa Cruz Mountains back in 1973. My Family still resides here. I grew up in these Mountains, they were my stomping grounds. I am just starting to dig into the rich History behind these incredible mountains! I am half way through this book and I am glued to it. Very cool read!
