Lure of the Humboldt Bay Region USED

Lure of the Humboldt Bay Region USED

$5.00

By Chad Hoopes. This book covers, as it says, “Early Explorations, Discoveries, and Foundations Establishing the Bay Region.” Published in 1966, there is an autograph by the author dated 1967. Please note that this book is in somewhat poor condition. The paperback binding is solid, but it has been written in, and there is foxing as well as water stains. It is reasonably clean. We don’t usually offer books in this condition, but this is an out-of-print local history book, written by a respected Humboldt author. It is completely readable and well worth the low price.
