"History of the Hills" Column in the "Champion"

I'm honored and privileged to have been asked to contribute a monthly column called "History of the Hills" in the Commentary/Opinion section of our amazing 130 year-old newspaper, the Champion. 

The first column is in today's edition and touches upon the native indigenous people (Indians) of our area. Future columns will go into the early days of Rancho Santa Ana del Chino and its first two owners, Antonio María Lugo and his son-in-law, Isaac Williams.  The rancho's west boundary extended into Carbon Canyon to about where the Circle K convenience store is just east of Sleepy Hollow.  There will be posts down the road (!) about the Canyon, too. 

You have to either subscribe to the print or electronic editions to read the column, so here is the link to the paper's website.
