How It All BeganA chance encounter ... a trunk of historic photographs … a cache of letters—the stuff of history inspires Mendocino Refuge: Lake Leonard & Reeves Canyon. Historian Dot Brovarney unpacks the trunk and much more. This engaging book introduces a cast of tough-as-leather characters who have peopled this rugged canyon and colored its history. Mendocino Refuge tells a multifaceted story of this wild place on California’s North Coast through its human inhabitants and the plants and animals who share it.
