BIG SUR
A Battle for the Wilderness
1869-1996
by John Woolfenden; revised and updated by Jeff Norman
Reprinted, updated, in preparation, ISBN: 940168-40-5
BIG SUR resident Jeff Norman has completely updated John Woolfenden's tale of
the bold families who have clung to the rugged coastal wilderness of California
for more than a century. The story begins with the pioneers, and follows the
history of their struggles to maintain their way of life up to the present
day. Will the land remain a wilderness with a sparse population of "characters,"
will it become a reserve managed by federal or state agencies, or will it
succumb to intense development with motels, towns, and other signs of "civilization"?
Much new information, many new photographs, modern and historical.
