Life in 1850’s Monterey

This is when Monterey was the capital of the state, when being a part of the U.S. was just beginning to sink in to some of the long term inhabitants of the area. The times of sailors and bandidos, and fortunes being made and lost throughout the state. The story is told through the eyes of a small business owner, Joseph Boston. Quite a slice of history.   http://monterey.org/library
