Storied Land: Community and Memory in Monterey
"With deep research, shrewd analysis, and vivid writing. John Walton reveals how we live in a web of competing stories that connect future and present to a contested past. In recovering the particular riches of Monterey's literally storied past, Walton finds universal experiences of labor, resistance, loss, and silencing. His own masterful storytelling lets us develop a fuller, more humanetie to the people of our past."
