In response to my post about his Rancho Santa Margarita book, author Mike Moodian writes, "Yes, the book does cover the histories of two separate places. The reason for this is because the histories of Rancho Santa Margarita, Rancho Mission Viejo and Rancho Trabuco are intertwined. My approach with this book is (1) to focus on the ranch history of southeast Orange County/north San Diego County, and (2) to demonstrate the connection between the ranch heritage of the region and the current City of Rancho Santa Margarita. ...To tell the story of the city of RSM, one must first focus on the ranch heritage of the region..." The photo at the top of today's post shows cowboys on the actual Rancho Santa Margarita (now part of Camp Pendleton) sometime around the 1930s. The photo immediately above is from a groundbreaking in what is now the city of Rancho Santa Margarita. According to Moodian, the folks in the lineup include (L to R) Michael Harris, Douglas Avery, Alice O'Neill Avery, an unidentified priest, Richard J. O'Neill, Melinda Moiso, Anthony Moiso, Tom Blum and Gilbert Aguirre.
