Down and Out in Mendocino is a dissection of criminality accompanied by an abdominal exercise in hilarity. The riot of a story is set in and around Mendocino Village, where East of Eden was filmed and James Dean became legend. Down and Out in Mendocino is a history of Mendocino County interwoven with the tale of a local mystery. Through the mystery, Rolland Greene, a local writer, and his friends find themselves wrapped up in a complex paper chase. Rolland Greene spends his time in the small coastal community trying to write his political treatise based on his experiences and a local collection of literature trying to survive the tumult surrounding his lifestyle and friends. Rolland and his buds all find themselves tormented by bad luck and ultimately bad people pursuing treasure unique to Mendocino. Down and Out in Mendocino is a humorous trip to Mendocino, California that will leave your gut hurting from laughing so hard, but will also lead to contemplation on the politics of crime and the crime of politics. Down and Out in Mendocino takes you to the heartland of Mendocino and into the mind and heart of Rolland Greene, a Mendonesian caught up in an old secret town mystery. The story is complete with several Herbisms, quotes of Herb, the town legend currently on the lamb, including, "Don't let anyone see me see you."

With humor, wisdom and tenderness, Ann Packer offers ten short stories about women and men--wives and husbands, sisters and brothers, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, friends, and lovers--who discover that life's greatest surprises may be found in that which is most familiar. In the title story, on the anniversary of their father's suicide a young woman discovers that her brother may have found a "reason for living" in the love of a good woman. In "Nerves," a young man realizes that the wife he is separated from no longer loves him but that it is his own life he misses, not her. The narrator of "My Mother's Yellow Dress" is a gay man remembering his deceased mother and their vital and troubling intimacy. In "Babies"--which was included in the prestigious O. Henry anthology series --a single woman in her mid-thirties finds that everyone, including her best friend at work, is pregnant, and that their joy can only be observed, not shared. In these and six other stories, Ann Packer exhibits an unerring eye for the small ways in which people reveal themselves and for the moments in which lives may be transformed.

Yanks in the Redwoodstells the story of the exploration and settlement of the Northwest, focusing on a one-hundred-mile region of the Mendocino Coast, 70 miles north of San Francisco. Covering the period of 1800–1900, the book presents several never-before-published accounts by participants. The founders of the Humboldt Bay Community are seen through the eyes of George Gibbs, Customs Collector, Astoria, OR. A unique look at the Oregon Trail, derived from the notes jotted down by Jesse Applegate and Stanley and Clarissa Taylor, debunks the Hollywood image of the hostile Indian. Sparely-written diary entries convey the pungent flavors and kernels of wisdom squeezed out of a life of hard work in a family timber business and the almost speechless surprise when corporations quickly moved in and muscled the founders out of their own enterprises. The book contains personal accounts by John Work, leader of the Hudson Bay Co. Expedition to the North Coast, and by Jerome and Emily Ford, founders of the Mendocino Lumber Co., and the fraud investigation of Thomas J. Henley. It tells of the founding of Mendocino and Ft. Bragg, the experiences of the Chinese community, the role of "Dog Hole" schooners, and the opium trade. The book concludes with excerpts from the diary of Etta Stephens Pullen, a pioneer who relocated from Maine to Little River, California, and the transcript of an interview with Lucy Young, a Wailaki-Lassik Indian telling the grim story of genocide that was going on coincidental with events in Etta Pullen's diary. Never before has this coastal segment of Northern California been studied in a comprehensive historical book. All of the earliest participant groups, Indians, Yankees and immigrants from the Midwestern and Southern states, northern European immigrants and Chinese, are presented. Wherever possible excerpts from primary sources, written by the people who made this history, are directly quoted. This work will become an example for other Northwest coastal regions to tell their own stories for later generations to enjoy.
