Big Sur is a river and a region on California's Central Coast. Extending for 75 miles along the Pacific shore, from south of Carmel to north of San Simeon, the Big Sur Coast is defined by the backdrop of the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains as they abruptly descend to meet the sea. For millennia the home of native people, Americans and Europeans began to settle Big Sur country even before California became a state. This book combines outstanding photographs from 40 collections, ranging from family albums to institutional archives.

Lots of local details and photos. Especially liked the photos of the Potluck Revues. Everybody wants to put on a show!

This series is a wonderful resource for writers of historical fiction. Informatively captioned photographs throughout.

An average Arcadia photo-history, or a bit below-average. Heavy on photos of historic people, it has some historic architecture, a bit of more modern history and the usual miscellany of stuff from the local historical society.
OK, I'm being a little hard on the book, but I see a lot of these, and this isn't one of the better ones. 2.6 stars.
