Book Description: Mountains of Fire... is the first complete account of San Luis Obispo County's morros - a chain of ancient volcanic peaks which has stretched northward from the city of San Luis Obispo to the sea for over 25 million yearsFactsQuotesAnecdotesHistoric & Fine Art PhotographsVignettesLegendsMaps & DiagramsOne of our county's most interesting natural phenomena is the chain of peaks which stretch from Islay Hill to the ocean. These peaks, known as the morros, have helped to define our county since before the coming of Western man. Sharon Lewis Dickerson has filled a need in this fascinating and readable account of the geology and human history of the peaks. I heartily recommend this book. - Mark Hall-Patton Director, San Luis Obispo Historical Society
