CHILDREN OF ALISO is a memoir of the pioneering Thurston family who settled and homesteaded 152 acres of land in Laguna Beach's Aliso Canyon in 1871, transforming its barren wilderness into a sustainable farm. It narrates the family's personal stories, from initial isolation to early Laguna neighbors, through the 1880s real-estate boom and bust, and 1890s economic downturns. Detailed descriptions of the region's flora, fauna and beautiful landscapes provide a backdrop to accounts of their daily lives, relationships and hardships. It recounts their lives on the Aliso farm, and the early years of school and work opportunities in neighboring communities.Harriet Thurston Buchheim Mather, one of fifteen Thurston children, describes CHILDREN OF ALISO as "the story of a single family of pioneers taken from among the many who formed an integral part of the romantic Southland in days that are forever gone-gone, not simply from the standpoint of the passing of time, but of the vanishing of an era."

Cada capítulo de la obra está estructurado de la siguiente manera: - Una ficha informativa general de la hacienda.- Una descripción arquitectónica y las condiciones del casco hasta 2012.- Una breve reseña histórica.- Una sección de fragmentos de historia oral, testimonios y anécdotas.- Una o dos leyendas que tienen a la hacienda o a su casco como escenario.- Varias fotografías seleccionadas.

My teenage eyes bore witness to a nation on the brink, crumbling under the weight of inept politicians and leadership.

It's this undiminished relevance that drives me to breathe new life into these pages, presenting them anew with their English counterparts, enriched further by an evocative visual accompaniment.
