A century ago, San Juan Bautista was the hub of Northern California, a crossroads where, over the years, you would have encountered gentle Mutsune Indians, hard-working Franciscan padres, fierce outlaws and a host of other fascinating characters. Yet today San Juan Bautista is a quaint, sleepy village with a quiet ambience that belies its dynamic past. In this book, Charles W. Clough enticingly unveils this vibrant past, granting the reader a rare peek into 200 years of history.
