Tales of the Russian River: Stumptown Stories
The
Russian River has drawn tourists to its colossal redwoods, picturesque seashore
and idyllic resorts for more than a century. This collection of John C.
Schubert’s “Stumptown Stories” columns relates the history of this California
river valley through in-depth research and firsthand stories. Ride the first
train to chug across the Hacienda Bridge and wave farewell to the town’s last
train in 1935. Swing around in the many dance halls to the big bands of the
1930s, ’40s and ’50s. Let the entertaining stories behind once stately, now
hidden, landmarks carry you into Stumptown’s past. Reconnect over coffee at
Pat’s Café and discover the rich history that formed the Russian River’s
communities.
