The proposed project consists of the development of (1) resort/hotel uses; (2) Residence Club uses; and (3) custom home residential uses on the 88-acre project site, as well as associated onsite and offsite improvements. The purpose of this assessment is to identify the presence or absence of potentially significant cultural resources within the project area, and, if impacted by the proposed development, propose recommendations for mitigation. Completion of this investigation fulfills the requirements associated with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report closely follows the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) procedures for cultural resource surveys and the OHP’s Archaeological Resource Management Report (ARMR) format for archaeological reports. On August 26, 2010 and September 24, 2010, Erin McMurry, MBA Cultural Resource Assistant, conducted a record search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) in Rohnert Park for the project area and a 0.25-mile radius beyond the project boundaries. Results from the NWIC record search indicate that 11 previous studies were conducted within 0.25 mile of the project area. Thirteen sites have been recorded within a 0.25-mile radius of the project area; five historic sites are within the project boundaries; and two prehistoric sites were recorded east of the project area in an area that may be utilized for a pipeline alignment. On August 31, 2010, MBA sent a letter to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in an effort to determine whether any sacred sites are listed on its Sacred Lands File for the project area. The response from the NAHC was received on September 2, 2010, and it noted that the search failed to indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the immediate project area. A list of two Native American tribal members who may have additional knowledge of the project area was included with the results. These tribal members were sent letters on September 28, 2010 asking for any additional information they might have concerning the project area. On October 15, 2010, Mr. Vince Salsedo of the Mishelwal Wappo tribe requested a copy of the Cultural Resource Assessment Report and stated that he would be conducting an independent investigation of the project for Native American resources. On December 10, 2010, the Cultural Resource Assessment Report was put on an FTP site for Mr. Salsedo to review. On December 17, 2010, he responded that he felt there was a potential for discovery of Native American resources within the project area and requested a Native American monitor be present during ground disturbance. On December 20, 2010, Mr. Salsedo contacted MBA and stated that he had specific concerns about the area east of State Route 29/128 (SR-29/128) and general concerns about the area west of SR-29/128. He requested monitoring for all ground disturbance in the area east of SR-29/128 Michael Brandman Associates 1 H:\Client (PN-JN)\3808\38080001\CRA\38080001 Enchanted Resorts CRA.doc City of Calistoga – Enchanted Resorts Project Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment Management Summary and agreed to periodic monitoring in the main project area west of SR-29/128. In addition, in an email dated December 22, 2010, Mr. Salsedo stated that he reviewed the mitigation measures for the project and agreed that they were appropriate. MBA Senior Project Archaeologist Carrie D. Wills surveyed the project area on September 8 and 21, 2010. The project area consists of very steep, densely wooded terrain located west of (SR-29/128) and flat grassy terrain and rural residential uses on sloping terrain east of SR-29/128. Two

  • Stevensoniana; an Anecdotal Life and Appreciation of Robert Louis Stevenson, Ed. from the Writings of J.M. Barrie, S.R. Crocket
    ——; — ! 92 STEVENSONIANA VIII ISLAND DAYS TO TUSITALA IN VAILIMA^ Clearest voice in Britain's chorus, Tusitala Years ago, years four-and-twenty. Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling. Years of famine, years of plenty, Years of beckoning and beguiling. Years of yielding, shifting, baulking, ' When the good ship Clansman ' bore us Round the spits of Tobermory, Glens of Voulin like a vision. Crags of Knoidart, huge and hoary, We had laughed in light derision. Had they told us, told the daring Tusitala, What the years' pale hands were bearing, Years in stately dim division. II Now the skies are pure above you, Tusitala; Feather'd trees bow down to love you 1 This poem, addressed to Robert Louis Stevenson, reached him at Vailima three days before his death. It was the last piece of verse read by Stevenson, and it is the subject of the last letter he wrote on the last day of his life. The poem was read by Mr. Lloyd Osbourne at the funeral. It is here printed, by kind permission of the author, from Mr. Edmund Gosse's ' In Russet and Silver,' 1894, of which it was the dedication. After the Photo by] [./.

Permission to reproduce this thesis in its entirety must be obtained from me. iii THE HEART OF AN INDUSTRY: THE ROLE OF THE BRACERO PROGRAM IN THE GROWTH OF VITICULTURE IN SONOMA AND NAPA COUNTIES Thesis by Zachary A. Lawrence ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Bracero Program in the growth of Sonoma and Napa County viticulture in an attempt to understand how important bracero labor was to the industry. While most histories of the Bracero Program are nationwide or statewide in scope, this study explores the regional complexities of how and why the program was used in Sonoma and Napa Counties, how both the growers and laborers in the region felt about it, and how this was different from and similar to other regions. Government documents provided the statistics necessary to determine the demographic changes in the region due to the Bracero Program. Important primary source material that provided the human side of the story includes a number of oral history interviews I conducted, the collection of Wine Industry Oral Histories, and various regional newspaper articles.

  • Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region
    Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region Richard Walker Department of Geography University of California Berkeley 94720 USA On-line version Revised 2002 Previous published version: Landscape and city life: four ecologies of residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ecumene . 2(1), 1995, pp. 33-64. (Includes photos & maps) ANYONE MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PAPER WITH THE USUAL COURTESY OF CITATION. COPYRIGHT 2004. The residential areas occupy the largest swath of the built-up portion of cities, and therefore catch the eye of the beholder above all else. Houses, houses, everywhere. Big houses, little houses, apartment houses; sterile new tract houses, picturesque Victorian houses, snug little stucco homes; gargantuan manor houses, houses tucked into leafy hillsides, and clusters of town houses. Such residential zones establish the basic tone of urban life in the metropolis. By looking at residential landscapes around the city, one can begin to capture the character of the place and its people. We can mark out five residential landscapes in the Bay Area. The oldest is the 19th century Victorian townhouse realm. The most extensive is the vast domain of single-family homes in the suburbia of the 20th century. The grandest is the carefully hidden ostentation of the rich in their estates and manor houses. The most telling for the cultural tone of the region is a middle class suburbia of a peculiar sort: the ecotopian middle landscape. The most vital, yet neglected, realms are the hotel and apartment districts, where life spills out on the streets. More than just an assemblage of buildings and styles, the character of these urban realms reflects the occupants and their class origins, the economics and organization of home- building, and larger social purposes and planning.

    An Environmental and Cultural History of the Pilot Creek Watershed [1994] By Thomas S. Keter Heritage Resources Six Rivers National Forest [This paper was first published in 1994 as the cultural resources input section of the Six Rivers National Forest Pilot Creek Watershed Assessment; I have placed a copy on the web to make it more easily accessible to researchers and the general public.] 1 solararch.org Authors Note: I wrote this paper during the late winter and early spring of 1994 as a member of a Six Rivers National Forest interdisciplinary team (biologists, botanists, foresters, hydrologists, archaeologists) studying the ecosystem of the Pilot Creek watershed. Since then I have continued to research the environmental and cultural history of this area. I suggest those interested in further information on "Pilot Ridge Country" visit my web site: www.solararch.org I have tried to refrain from making changes to the original text except for minor editing. I have, however, in a few places included in text boxes or in brackets comments due subsequent research that in some way (for better or worse) has led me to change or modify my data or conclusions. TK November 2015 Three Rivers,CA Introduction The Pilot Creek Watershed has had a long history of human occupation. This paper presents a brief overview of the region since humans first entered the area during the prehistoric period. The land-use activities resulting from human occupation, during both historic and prehistoric periods have had a significant influence on the environment of the Pilot Creek Watershed. The prehistoric era dates from as early as about five thousand years ago until the beginning of the historic period when Euro-American explorers first the region in about 1850.
