Boosterism and the Big Trees

Santa Cruz advertisement (featuring the General Sherman Tree), circa 1900 - Author's Personal Collection

This circa 1900 item touting Santa Cruz as the perfect place to live included an image of the magnificent General Sherman Tree at Big Trees Grove. 

Interestingly the description included the line that Santa Cruz "... is the cheapest place in the state in which to live."
