Description
Mendocino County's rich history goes back to well before the conquering of the native lands by the white man beginning with the removal of the original Californio brown skins in 1846 with the "Mexican American Wars" that was in reality a mass genocide. This was followed by the 1849 California Gold Rush and CA statehood in 1850 when bounty was placed on the native brown skins by California's first governor.
The world had never seen such massive 3,000 year old redwood trees before and as soon as the "new settlers" came to California. So dog ports were built all along the Mendocino coast for their resource extracting involving impossible engineering feats to harvest these ancient trees to the coast for sale and profits.Thousands of men, hundreds of trains and dozens of saw mills were put in place during the mid-late 1850's.
Additionally, Mendocino has a history of a very dark side including a massive Insane Asylum built in the 1890's as well as a KKK organizations and such characters as Jim Jones and Charles Manson who integrated into Mendocino before committing their atrocities.
This book rewrites Mendocino like no other book before. Enjoy.
