A clipping titled ‘Mendocino Mecca of Sportsmen’, promoting Mendocino County, California, as an ideal destination for travellers, sportsmen, and pleasure seekers. The text highlights the county’s vast geographic diversity – noting it is twice the size of Delaware – and its varied climate, which ranges from coastal breezes to snowcapped mountains. It describes an abundance of natural attractions, including redwood forests, fine fishing, good hunting, medicinal springs, sea caves, and scenic drives like the Shoreline route, which it compares to the Cornish coast and Japan. Additionally, the article touches on local landmarks and history, mentioning the agricultural wealth of the region, the International Observatory at Ukiah, and the legendary highwayman Black Bart, who famously robbed mail stages near Willits.
