  • The Socialite Keeper by Clifford Gallant
    The Socialite Keeper by Clifford Gallant Emily Fish and her niece Juliet, from all evidence in their backgrounds, were un- likely candidates to join the ranks of the women who tended the lights. Having the advantage of education and social position, why did they become involved in work so lonely and foreign to their backgrounds? Trying to solve this enigma would call for the talents of a Sherlock Holmes. We do know that Emily A. Fish was born in 1843, in the insular village of Albion, Michigan. Her parents, John and Isabella Maitland, were British immigrants and the proprietors of a general store. Although Emily was not aware of it at the time, the marriage of her older sister Juliet to Melancthon Fish was to have a profound in- fluence on her life. Fish attended medical school in their community. Emily Fish.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

  • Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area
    Crashing waves, redwoods and historic sites Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area Some of the most beautiful sights in California can be found in Monterey area California State Parks. Rocky cliffs, crashing waves, redwood trees, and historic sites are within an easy drive of each other. "When you look at the diversity of state parks within the Monterey District area, you begin to realize that there is something for everyone - recreational activities, scenic beauty, natural and cultural history sites, and educational programs,” said Dave Schaechtele, State Parks Monterey District Public Information Officer. “There are great places to have fun with families and friends, and peaceful and inspirational settings that are sure to bring out the poet, writer, photographer, or artist in you. Some people return to their favorite state parks, year-after-year, while others venture out and discover some new and wonderful places that are then added to their 'favorites' list." State Parks in the area include: Limekiln State Park, 54 miles south of Carmel off Highway One and two miles south of the town of Lucia, features vistas of the Big Sur coast, redwoods, and the remains of historic limekilns. The Rockland Lime and Lumber Company built these rock and steel furnaces in 1887 to cook the limestone mined from the canyon walls. The 711-acre park allows visitors an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of Big Sur’s southern coast. The park has the only safe access to the shoreline along this section of cast. For reservations at the park’s 36 campsites, call ReserveAmerica at (800) 444- PARK (7275).

  • L58-HH August 13, 1968 Mr. Vernal L. Yadon
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE OFFICE OF ARCHEOLOGY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION 801 19TH STREET, N. W. IN REPLY REFER TO: WASHINGTON, O. C. 20008 L58-HH August 13, 1968 Mr. Vernal L. Yadon Curator Museum of Natural History Forest and Central Avenues Pacific Grove, California 93950 Dear Mr. Yadon: I was most pleased to learn by a copy of Dr. John Hussey's letter to you of August 1 that something is being done to interpret the Point Pinos lighthouse. From Dr. Hussey's letter, I gather that what you need primarily at present is some idea of source material on the lighthouse. The main source of information on lighthouses is the National Archives, for here are the records, letters, journals, reports, etc. that concern this country's aids to navigation. Because of a fire in the Commerce Department in the 1920's many lighthouse records were destroyed or badly damaged; consequently, it is impossible to say what exists without actually going into the records and seeing what is there. For some lighthouses there is a copious quantity of information, for others the information is skimpy. The first material one should examine in the lighthouse records in the Archives is the Site File and the Clipping File for the individual lighthouse in which one is interested. The information in these files is not extensive, but it is basic. It can be xeroxed easily and at a small cost. Sometimes drawings exist and these can be photostated. If you have not already written to the National Archives, let me suggest that you hold off.
