Color: Red
"The History of Warner's Ranch and its Environs," by James J. Hill (Los Angeles: Privately printed, 1927), 221 pp. A hardcover book in red cloth with a paper label pasted at the top of the spine giving the book's title and author's name and including rows of five trees at the top and bototm of the label and a single tree between the title and author's name. The work is a general history of the northern San Diego County ranch from pre-European contact Indian settlement there to its uses by the Mission San Luis Rey to its Mexican-era grants to Silverstre de la Portilla, Jose Antonio Pico and Jonathan Trumbull Warner, known also as Juan Jose. Discussion of American-era history included Warner's loss of the ranch in 1859, its subsequent owners, the eviction and relocation of the Luiseno Indians and concluding with the ownership of William G. Henshaw, who established an irrigation system with a dam and reservoir, known as Lake Henshaw. There are drawings of Henshaw and Warner, plates of original documents concerning the ranch and appendices for the European discovery of the ranch area, and the four land grants for the ranch. In good condition, there is very slight wear to the cover and spine edges.
