In 1999 Barbara began documenting Sonoma Valley's historic and unique properties with ink and vine charcoal drawings and colorful stories of each property's past. The first edition was published in 2015. As she continued drawing and writing, her inventory of first edition books dwindled so she has created the second edition with 55 images and stories. Chapter One, the City of Sonoma, is presented with a map to guide readers on a walk around and near the historic Plaza. Other chapters include Sonoma Valley properties, "Gone But Not Forgotten", documenting structures and vistas forever lost to time, neglect or development. Many original stories have been updated to reflect new information." 120p. illus map [Only 2 copies found in WorldCat] Book
