Who were the first inhabitants of Ramona Valley thousands of years ago? Why was the town first called Nuevo? Was there really a nationally-ranked drag strip at the Ramona Airport? Who was Ramona’s famous female author of best-selling children’s books? A new book, “Images of America: Ramona, California” by local author and historian Richard L. Carrico answers these questions, with a slide presentation at 12:30 focusing on images and stories from the new book. The new book autographed by the author will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds going to the Woodward Museum.
Richard explains that the book is a collaborative effort between him and the Guy B. Woodward Museum. Carrico knows about the value of research, he is a lecturer in the Department of American Indian Studies at San Diego State University, has written three other books, is a well-known archaeologist, and has more than 30 published academic articles. His previous award winning book Strangers in a Stolen Land: Indians of San Diego County is used in university and college courses throughout the West.
The order of events for the day will be: Social time 11:00, Call to order 11:30, Luncheon 12:00, Program 1:00.
