Impressive, long out of print book by Charles F. Outland about the old days of Ventura County, California, compiled from archival information during the period of 1871 to 1890 and with some follow up for the years after; Outland details the miners, hunters, trappers, farmers, ranchers and outlaws that roamed the area north of Los Angeles in the last years of the real southern California wilderness. He spends a lot of time on the grizzly bear, which was once common in the wild areas but disappeared almost entirely by the mid-1880s. An antiquated treat.
