A rare biography of a California Indian leader that weaves together the story of a legendary figure. It's a little known fact that the San Francisco Bay Area's Marin County is named after a Coast Miwok chief who achieved notoriety for defying Spanish authority over his people. Anthropologist and archaeologist Betty Goerke has pieced together a portrait of the life of this Native American leader, using mission records, ethnographies, explorers' and missionaries' diaries and correspondence, and other material.

"Farming on the Edge contains a story that needs repeating throughout our land. It is a reminder that cities cannot exist without country, that farmers, neglected by society, are in fact a living heritage as important to our development as schools, music and art, to be honored and treasured. . . . It is our responsibility to sustain life on our farms, supporting farmers and a way of life that has always been the foundation and basis of culture."--Paul Hawken, Smith & Hawken "A great book! Marin County has made a wonderful start in making the Bay Area greenbelt a reality."--Larry Orman, Executive Director, Greenbelt Alliance "An unusual glimpse into a community that has succeeded in preserving its agricultural heritage."--Ralph Grossi, President, American Farmland Trust

The Coast Miwok and the early friars of Mission Dolores chose San Rafael both for its good weather and running streams, and the mission was named after the Archangel Raphael, the patron saint of bodily healing. When looking for a country estate, many wealthy San Franciscans sought the clean air and ideal weather here to escape the city's damp fog. San Rafael grew fast thereafter--it was the first city in Marin County to incorporate, the first to build a railroad, and the first to build a luxury hotel. San Rafael is the seat of county government, the center of commerce, and a cosmopolitan community in a natural setting. The dusty village of long ago was refined by fine schools and churches, the coming of the library, and by the ambitious efforts of the San Rafael Improvement Club. These early efforts made this a charming place to live, with Victorian homes, sylvan streets, and historic buildings in the business district. The pioneers would be pleased with the state of today's San Rafael.

Marin County has long been known for its beautiful woodlands, seashores, and hills, but its towns, people, and architecture tell an equally compelling story. The largest of the Bay Area's nine counties, Marin has an amazingly varied makeup in both its populace and its natural setting. From the sparse, rocky seascapes and sandy beaches along the Point Reyes Peninsula, Bolinas, and Stinson Beach, to the suburban tracts of San Rafael, Corte Madera, and Novato, this county runs the gamut of California lifestyles and landscapes.
