Opis

West of the West: Tales from California's Channel Islands reveals the epic human history of our continent's final frontier.Often called the Galapagos of North America, the eight Channel Islands lie in plain sight of millions of people off the Southern California coast. Yet few know their names or even how many there are. And fewer still know the fascinating tales of those who've lived, worked, discovered, surfed, dived, ranched, wrecked or were rescued on these unique and beautiful islands. Told in 13 different tales.
