The mild west

Article Abstract:

The Pelican Bay on Santa Cruz Island in California that has unforgettable contrasts between what it is at present and it was about half a millennium ago, is described. The sheltered beaches, a benign climate and about 300 days of sunshine every year and its lush climate has for centuries drawn marauders, monks, moguls and movie stars to the region, are discussed.
