Descripción
Sumario:Sonoma is one of Northern California's most desirable places to live and a popular tourist destination, combining small-town charm, a colorful past, and its current role as the hub of one of the world's premier wine-producing regions. This book traces Sonoma's past from the Native American peoples who first inhabited the valley, proceeding through the establishment of a mission by Spanish priests, the Bear Flag Revolt that began California's movement to become part of the United States, the foundation of what would become a celebrated wine industry, and its role today as the center of a sophisticated and highly envied food and wine culture.
