Summary

This book briefly covers the period from the indigenous tribes who lived in the valley well before English settlers arrived. It documents the transformation of the area from a pristine valley environment to one that has been gradually over 200 years to a more commercial rural/industrial landscaped valley. The book details the first pioneers and their descendants, along with the changes to their environment.
