Tales of everyday life in Santa Barbara 100 years ago, based on articles in the local papers. 1917 was the year that: two strong earthquakes rocked the residents here, the first plane flew to the Channel Islands, local boys marched off to war, and women put on pants for the first time. It was also the year that a wild beast ran down De la Vina Street, Ojai was devastated by two fires, and the new Central Library opened its doors.
