Stories of Saddleback Valley

by Joe Osterman

Travel back in time a half century and look at a small country town and its denizens as they strive to exact a living from a stubborn land. Yes, it is true, El Toro and the Saddleback Valley have not always been filled with homes, businesses, and all the other trappings of an urban society. The people, places, and events of a part of rural Americana are presented to the reader in a collection of stories, short and long, which combine history--admittedly informal -- and anecdote with personal reminiscences.
