Eastern San Luis Obispo County is an arid region of rolling grassland midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles that has historically been a favorite foraging ground for the rarest of North American birds - the Californian Condor. This book is an exploration of the character and history of that landscape, and of two brothers who are nearly as unique as the bird with which they have come to be associated.
