HISTORY NEVER ENDS About the Author AN EXPERT HISTORIAN OF THE WEST, author, lecturer and cartographer, David Myrick’s books reflect his luminous insight into history, supported by thoroughly researched significant detail. His grandparents first visited Santa Barbara in 1899 and, during the first part of this century, when the family lived in Santa Barbara, his father enrolled in the Blanchard-Gamble School. Born in Santa Barbara, the author attended a country day school in Montecito before going away to school and college. For many years—when Myrick was a resident of San Francisco—he was a regular visitor to Montecito and Santa Barbara, and some years ago he purchased a home in Montecito. His writings include histories of railroads and mines in Nevada, Eastern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Bolivia, as well as a history of San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill. Long interested in history, David Myrick was a board member of national, state, and local historical societies in California, Nevada, and Arizona, and has authored eighteen books. Montecito and Santa Barbara: History Never Ends is the third of three works on this subject.
