I just received this delightful book this past week, and I thought I would share a couple of the pages with you. It is mostly the stories of coming down to Big Sur on mules or horseback checking on the schools – in the mountains and on the coast – bringing books and once bringing a social worker to check on a WWI vet living down in the canyon of the Los Burros Mining District. There are a few historical photographs. It is available on amazon.

I may start featuring a few more in my Big Sur Collection just because I like this idea, I like history, and I’d like others to know about the history of this area!

Kate, is there a historical society for the Big Sur region and beyond or it all stored in a Caltrans vault?
There is a Big Sur Historical Society.

It's a shame on its website - its publications don't show any archives or recent newsletters links.
Try the Big Sur Gazette. I know it has archived its past issues (70’s and 80’s, I think.)
