My Father's Pictures

This book is a selection of pictures that my father, Andrew A. Victorine, had in his photo collection. He was born in 1898 on the Victorine Ranch on the California coast, just south of Monterey. He was a treasure trove of knowledge concerning people, places and events in that area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I didn't pay enough attention to his stories when I was young, but I still remember how much he'd enjoy discussing his memories with my aunts and uncles. Fortunately, he did some interviews, and wrote down quite a bit of his memories. I'm including some of those notes to help give some context to the pictures - and to give my father a chance to tell his own story.
