Item description from seller

56 pages, some illustrations, soft cover chapbook. About: At the far west end of Goleta, the Tecolote Canyon winds down from the uppermost reaches of the Santa Ynez mountains. The canyon descends rapidly into a pastoral valley and down to a beach that that has been inhabited by humans for thousands of years. At the mouth of the Tecolote Canyon lies Haskells Beach, which has a very interesting history of its own. From the coastal plain to the mountains, Tecolote Canyon has served as a comfortable home to humans for at least 10,000 years. The Chumash being the first recorded people, but vague remnants of previous civilizations have also been found. The villages were on the ocean bluffs and along the Tecolote creek near the ocean, seeing as that was their main food source. But they surely hunted and gathered well up into the canyon. When the Spaniards arrived and built a mission at Santa Barbara, they used the Tecolote Canyon coastal plain for a livestock pasture, but they didn't make much use of the canyon areas. Around this time is when the name Tecolote Canyon was coined, Spanish for owl.
