It narrates the family's personal stories, from initial isolation to early Laguna neighbors, through the 1880s real-estate boom and bust, and 1890s economic downturns. Detailed descriptions of the region's flora, fauna and beautiful landscapes provide a backdrop to accounts of their daily lives, relationships and hardships. It recounts their lives on the Aliso farm, and the early years of school and work opportunities in neighboring communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarriet Thurston Buchheim Mather, one of fifteen Thurston children, describes CHILDREN OF ALISO as \"the story of a single family of pioneers taken from among the many who formed an integral part of the romantic Southland in days that are forever gone-gone, not simply from the standpoint of the passing of time, but of the vanishing of an era.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 506\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47413557887197,"sku":"9798989471515","price":103.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/mpF2EAlZm09798989471515_459c7130-9b24-4a01-b602-740616e3ada5.webp?v=1771190095","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/children-of-aliso-hardcover-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
