Secret History Of Carmel

Carmel's rich cultural heritage is more that just what meets the eye. Most of todays's four thousand residents realize just how magically complex it is. Writer/artist John Thompson was born in Carmel and became its leading counter-culture artist in the Sixties. Having graduated from UC in Art History, he conducted extensive interviews of those close to the town's leading creative forces during the past century. This is the first book, based on his two hundred published articles on Carmel heritage, to present previously "secret" knowledge of the town's most colorful and bright characters.
