cahistorygeek's review against another edition

Go to review page

3.0

Made up of four essays, the work explores four different locations in the Santa Cruz area- including the Big Basin Redwoods, a ride at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, status outside of Los Gatos, and the Pulgas Water Temple. I thought her work exploring the imperialist nature through which redwoods were interpreted and remembered was interesting and I liked the review of the cave man ride. The work on the Los Gatos- exploring well to do poets and their servants was a bit long and meandering for my taste and the work on the urban legends around the water temple failed to hold my interest. But, it was easy to read and thought provoking. If you're from the area or about to visit you should check it out.
