Stories of the early settlement of Ben Lomond as told by the living members of the Guichard and Burns families and dealing with the years from 1860-1920.

A series of interviews by James Doan (once assisted by Catherine Streip) submitted to Dr. Gary Gossen for the Anthropology 121 course at UCSC. Before the interviews are family trees for the Guichards and the Burnses, and after is a partial copy of Doan's findings and a map of early Ben Lomond locales.
