Native Plants: Torrey Pines State Reserve and Nearby San Diego County Locations, by Margaret L. Fillius.
This book is intended to help beginners identify many of the California native plants they are likely to see in western San Diego County. The intention is to make it possible to identify a plant at different stages. For most species, a photograph shows the plant in its habitat, and its general structure. Details of the flower, leaf or fruit are illustrated to help identify the plant at different stages.
THE CUYAMACAS: THE STORY OF SAN DIEGO'S HIGH COUNTRY, by Leland Fetzer
From a review by Richard L. Carrico - What makes this book so readable and entertaining is the author's zeal for the places and the stories. It is clear that Fetzer is passionate about the Cuyamacas and that he can wrap a good story around that passion. A retired San Diego State University professor with a wonderful book on San Diego place names already under his belt, Febzer blends fact and folklore to present a charming and accessible story. The author provides an extensive and usable bibliography for those reasers who might want to explore the primary and secondary sources in depth.

SOLDIERS, SCOUNDRELS, POETS AND PRIESTS by David J. McLaughlin
