Download or read book Early Escondido written by Stephen A. Covey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis A. Havens was a Southern California pioneer businessman, storyteller, and artist who brought the community of Escondido together via his camera. He was the first successful photographer in the thriving north San Diego County agricultural city, incorporated in 1888. Prior to his arrival, the occasional photographer might seasonally visit Escondido or attempt to set up shop, realizing little success. Havens's timing in his arrival, combined with his skillful eye, ensured his success from 1911 to 1944. His collection documents Escondido's early residents, architecture, events, and landscapes, and it now persists as a historic record of past events, culture, and development of the fourth largest city in San Diego County.

Download or read book Escondido Grape Day Festivals written by Lucy Jones Berk and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escondido is the lilting Spanish name meaning "hidden" and was given to an irregular-shaped inland Southern California valley where an investment group planted 100 acres of grapes in the early 1880s. The dry-farmed grapes grew unusually large and sweet, which prompted business leaders to envision an attraction similar to Pasadena's Tournament of Roses. The first Grape Day Festival in 1908 commemorated an auspicious occasion in Escondido's water history and celebrated the grape as a symbol of the agricultural abundance of the region. The event attracted thousands of guests who could view the valley, farm displays, a grand parade, and entertainment while eating their fill of free grapes. But by mid-century, Grape Day disappeared along with the grape in Escondido. With the memory of the grape remaining clear, the Escondido Historical Society began the revival of the celebration in the 1970s. The centennial Grape Day Festival took place September 6, 2008.

Lourdes possesses a unique skill--crafting intricate coffins adorned with scenes shown to her by the spirits surrounding her. Her creative process fuses Italian Renaissance art's elegance with Mexican folk art's soulful vibrancy, resulting in coffins that transcend mere functionality. Yet Lourdes's journey is anything but ordinary. As a woman with unconventional talents, she grapples with isolation and prejudice in her tight-knit community. Her only companions are her devoted mother, a loyal dog, and an ardent suitor. When the local padre takes a keen interest in her, admiration blends with moral scrutiny, casting a complex shadow over her already challenging existence. The Coffiner of Escondido masterfully weaves a captivating tapestry of creativity, spirituality, and indomitable strength. Lourdes's tale is a timeless exploration of the human spirit's resilience against societal norms and marginalization. Cummins skillfully merges historical authenticity with engaging prose, inviting readers to experience a world where art becomes a conduit for deeper connections and personal empowerment. Lourdes Pena's journey is an inspiring reminder that the human spirit can flourish even in the face of adversity, leaving an indelible mark on our histories and our hearts. 76

Download or read book The Nueces River written by Margie Crisp and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First appearing on early Spanish maps as the Río Escondido, or hidden river, and later named Río de las Nueces after the abundant pecan trees along its banks, the Nueces today is a stream of seeming contradictions: a river that runs above and below ground; a geographic reminder of a history both noble and egregious; and a spring-fed stream transformed into a salty, steep-sided channel. From its fresh, clear headwaters on the Edwards Plateau, Margie Crisp and William B. Montgomery follow the river through the mesquite and prickly pear of the South Texas Plains, to the river’s end in Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays on the Gulf of Mexico. With vivid prose and paintings, they record their travels as they explore the length of the river on foot, kayak, and fishing boat, ultimately weaving a vivid portrait of today’s Nueces. Capturing the river’s subtle beauty, abundant wildlife, diverse culture, and unique history of exploration, conflict, and settlement, they reveal the untold story of this enigmatic river with passion, humor, and reverence.
