115 pp., index, illustrations many in color, photographs, maps, mapped end boards.
A fascinating book, much information and history here unknown to many Americans!
In these modern times of rapid communication and transportation it is pleasing to reflect upon the pastoral scene of California in the early 19th century when neighbors only visited occasionally and often traveled more than a day to see each other.
Each rancho was a community within itself, far removed from central government and under the autocratic control of the ranchero to whom the vast tract of land had been granted.
Residents or visitors to San Diego County who today enjoy the comforts of the new era, in mind's fancy, may look back through the pages of this book to the serenity and romance of the days of the ranchos and learn which of the historic land grants they can a sociate with current situations or residence.
It is hoped Historic Ranchos of San Diego will bring pleasant reflections from a picturesque and romantic era never again to be seen in our world.
