A Brief History of Tassajara: From Native American Sweat Lodges to Pioneering Zen Monastery

A history of Tassajara Springs nestled deep within the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains in Monterey County, California. Used for thousands of years by the Esselen and other Indians who traveled there for the healing hot waters. Homesteaders then entrepreneurs claimed the site, created a treacherous road in for horse then buggy then auto. This book, full of old photos, is the story of the characters and events from the 1800s to the present. It is still a popular resort owned since 1967 by the San Francisco Zen Center.
