A warm and richly detailed chronicle of small-town California life, More About Carpinteria As It Was, Volume Two continues Jayne Craven Caldwell’s beloved local history series. Published by Papillon Press in 1982, this first printing captures personal recollections, early ranching and coastal stories, and photographs that preserve the spirit of Carpinteria’s pioneer community.
Combining oral history, archival photos, and the author’s deep connection to the region, Caldwell’s work stands among the most comprehensive local histories of California’s Central Coast. A charming addition to collections of Santa Barbara County history, California local authors, or American small-town heritage.
Jayne Craven Caldwell (1909–1997) was a respected Carpinteria historian and columnist who chronicled early life in the region with a mix of affection and authenticity. Both volumes of her Carpinteria As It Was series were locally printed in small runs, making surviving copies increasingly hard to find.
