“Ted Calvert has assembled a book that celebrates what is most worthy of our respect, reflection, and protection: the natural beauty of our own backyard, and the place we call home. It should be read not only by residents of Sonoma County but by anyone who admires the ever changing Northern California hills.”

-Dan Imhoff, author of Farming with the Wild, president                and cofounder of Watershed Media publishing house.

“Layered with history and enhanced by poetry and vivid descriptive details, Ted Calvert’s aptly-titled book about Fitch Mountain conveys an excellent sense of place. The numerous photos are well chosen and stunningly reproduced. At once intimate and expansive in scope, the multiple storytellers in this volume provide a richly textured view of Healdsburg’s beloved local landmark.”

-Holly Hoods, Research Curator,                    Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society
