Written by Jocelyn Moss & Judy Coy, this book describes the early days of Marin up to WWII. Starting with the Coast Miwok then the early friars of Mission Dolores who chose San Rafael for its good weather and running streams. San Rafael grew fast thereafter―it was the first city in Marin County to incorporate, the first to build a railroad, and the first to build a luxury hotel. San Rafael is the seat of county government, the center of commerce, and a cosmopolitan community in a natural setting. The dusty village of long ago was refined by fine schools and churches, the coming of the library, and by the ambitious efforts of the San Rafael Improvement Club. These early efforts made this a charming place to live, with Victorian homes, sylvan streets, and historic buildings in the business district. The pioneers would be pleased with the state of today’s San Rafael.
