As the City and County of Santa Cruz struggles with new and better ways to keep their citizenry mobile, Charles S. McCaleb's Surf, Sand & Streetcars stands as an ever present link in that process. The street transportation technology of the past provides a guide to the present self-powered railcars and light rail vehicles. Those very same forces which were at work during the period of Surf, Sand & Streetcars are once again providing a new impetus for the future of mass transportation. As a result, a second look at previous solutions to the same problems is being considered. Thus, as you read through the pages of this well written and documented book, note that the wheel has already been invented. --Rick Hamman

John Leighton Chase

The end of the twentieth century prompted a look back at the history of the legal community in Santa Cruz County. This book is the result of that backward glance. It traces the earliest beginnings of the local judicial system, from Spanish colonial rule to the heady days of the gold rush, western expansion, and California statehood. The book follows the development of the legal community into the twentieth century, with its primary focus on the last half of that century--another period of momentous change for the legal community and for society as a whole. The book discusses judges, lawyers, crimes, and important local cases, all set against the backdrop of the general history of Santa Cruz County and beyond.

The history of the Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods consists of many stories: stories that tell of the thousands of years these aged giants thrived as the Ohlone people managed the landscape; that tell of the settlers who came from afar and saw the seemingly endless forests as a source of profit; that tell of the far-sighted women and men who joined together to preserve groves of these ancient trees. The stories progress to the present day as the split interests of logging and conservation continue to collide.
