The history of Marin County is intimately connected with the birth and early growth of the state of California. Marin is home to one of the last Spanish missions and the location of the lone battle of the Bear Flag Revolt, which led to California statehood. At that time, Marin was a pastoral paradise that supplied most of the raw materials for the exploding population of Gold Rush Era San Francisco. Fifty years later, its temperate climate and the devastation wrought by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire brought on a veritable "land rush'? to the region. The photographs in this book capture moments in time that tell the story of a people and land that have shaped Marin's past, present, and future. Working closely with the staff of the Marin History Museum, Scott Fletcher has carefully selected images from the museum's collection and brought their stories to life in a series of articles that first appeared in the Marin Independent Journal newspaper. The image subjects are diverse, including landscapes, towns, people, businesses, homes, and modes of transportation representing all geographic areas of the county.

In 1911, the Marin Journal, forerunner of the Marin Independent Journal, published a special Golden Anniversary edition commemorating its first fifty years of publication. Sixteen pages long and printed on book-quality paper, the edition consisted entirely of a series of illustrated articles about each community in Marin County, written by a local correspondent, extolling the virtues of their towns. These give an intriguing view of how local residents viewed their communities, their progress, and their hopes for the future. The pride and their hopes glow through their words. The special edition was followed by a series of weekly articles detailing the history of Marin County. While there are inaccuracies, these articles were written when many of the founding pioneers of the county were still alive, and contain much information not available elsewhere. While there are many histories of California, this series focuses on Marin County and describes the people and events that made the county and formed its culture. Taken together, the special edition and the history articles give an intimate look at the county as seen by its founders and residents more than a century ago. Transcribed, edited, and annotated by local San Anselmo historian Brian K. Crawford.

Jim Holden's 10 stories describe the development and unique character of Marin County. He talks about the enchanted wilds of Mount Tam, the difficult birth of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Big Empty, the controversies around the County's oyster beds, its tule elk, and Marin's esteemed Buck Trust. The lifeblood of Jim's stories is his rich cast of characters, like Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, Kit Carson, William Kent, William Coleman, and trailblazer Martha Buckelew. Holden also shares the drama of the Marin County courthouse shootout and hostage taking by San Quentin inmates, and the stunning campaign of violence and intimidation by the Synanon cult in West Marin.

While in some cases inaccurate by current knowledge, these articles reveal both interesting history and the way Marin residents viewed their county over 100 years ago.
