Synopsis:

Along the California coastline lies the community of San Luis Obispo; a town just as rich in history as it is in beauty. Situated almost directly between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Luis Obispo was first inhabited by the Chumash and Salinan Indians in 1400 B.C. It took almost 3,000 years before its majestic landscape was encountered by
European explorers.

About the Author: From ancient tribes to European explorers, San Luis Obispo has mesmerized all of those who have had the fortune to see it. In San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly, author Thomas Maxwell-Long brings the beauty and richness of this community into a single volume; documenting the growth of San Luis Obispo along the 19th and 20th centuries with remarkable, vintage postcards. The story of San Luis Obispo cannot be told without telling the story of the California Polytechnic School, for it is within the symbiosis of this relationship that San Luis Obispo was able to establish itself as one of the most unique communities in California.
