Synopsis
Despite being hidden in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, this unique little community has had surprising connections with the outside world. Though the population is only 279 people, notables like Father Sera, De Anza, Fremont, Hearst, Eisenhower, Rommel, and Steinbeck are just a few of those who passed this way on their way to fame. Now known as Lockwood Valley, it is still sleeping East of Lucia_____________________________This is what a reader from Arizona had to say about HUNGRY FLATS:"The author did an incredible job of taking you back into the history of Hungry Flats, now known as Lockwood; the settling immigrant families, farming, cattle ranching and onward. The true hard working, self sacrificing town building, farming families in this romantic rolling hills area were not without local characters, excitement, growth, adventures and rewards. During the depression and WWII they kept forged ahead by sheer determination and innovation. They came here to be Americans; they were patriotic. Chapter by chapter the author visits the historical growth, colorful people, and local stories that take you into an era gone by. Each chapter draws you into another, as the talented writings of the author are intertwiningly interesting, informative, and historically accurate accounts. It is written by a man who lived his whole life as part of and around the founding families and their stories of neighbors, friends and relatives who experienced and cultivated the land and developed innovative farming equipment and machinery. If you want to read real cowboy roundup and horse stories they are there and will make you hold your breath and also laugh. The tales of the surrounding WWII Army training facilities, patriot farmers, military escapades and the airplane growth in this area lead to many tales of valley history. It is refreshing to have various records set straight and local deserving people recognized. The authors ability has you feeling his excitements, pride, joys, disappointments, and his deep sorrow and frustrations trying to save the Botts Ranch, one of the largest cattle ranches and keep his family together. "HUNGRY FLATS" is a must read and a great way to spend reading time."
