Отрывок из книги

My great-aunt Anne Hadden had always wanted to write a book about her adventures in Monterey County as its first librarian. In her retirement during the 1950s, she spent many hours handwriting and typing manuscripts of her memories. When she passed away, my family gave most of these papers to the Monterey County Free Libraries.

In my retirement, I have become very interested in family history, finding fascinating stories about my ancestors. I find Aunt Anne’s memoirs exciting, valuable stories for our local history.

.....

Anne possessed a remarkable spirit of adventure and the intellect necessary for great success as a pioneer county librarian.

The adventuresome job went to the adventurer!
