San Ramon Chronicles: Stories of Bygone Days (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781540202680)

Though a relatively young city, San Ramon has history stretching back to California s founding. Ohlone Indians first inhabited the area before rancheros grazed the land more than a century ago. Drawn by the Gold Rush, pioneers and prospectors settled the place promoters labeled a Garden of Eden. Diversified farming of the valley, full of orchards and plentiful fields, sustained the rural population. Sitting in the shadow of historic Mount Diablo, San Ramon is a growing city recognized for its extraordinary parks, schools and active citizenry. Local author Beverly Lane brings to life San Ramon s vibrant past.
