The City of San Juan Capistrano is the oldest
community in Orange County and has the richest history in
California. Author-historian Pamela Hallan-Gibson has put
together the only and most complete history of this community's
first two-hundred years. This book has many photos from the
Historical Society archives that show how an adobe village
has grown from a few hundred to over 34,000. Tales of colorful
personalities are told about a Blessed padre, brigands, a
king, the first woman jailed in the County, and one of the
largest ranch owners in the state. And, read about the legend
of the Swallows return every March.

Don't let this title throw you. It is all
in English. Dos Cientos en San Juan Capistrano is Spanish
for 220 years in San Juan Capistrano. This was Pamela Hallan-Gibson's
first book on the history of this City. It is a soft cover
version and a little larger than a typical paperback. Not
as many photos but a delightful book that can be easily carried
around.
