Baja History folks -


For those who may be interested in the El Camino Real in Baja, i saw this book offered on ebay. It's an excellent book, and a very good price as offered. By Harry Crosby - The Kings Highway.

Search on ebay for item # 190062723807

I have no financial interest in this.

Here's the next best thing.... http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/77winter/bajamaps.htm

Maps of the Camino Real made for Harry that are more detailed than those in his book... also links to photos and details on the Camino Real. (That link is on my home page vivabaja.com as well)

Some more Baja history reading.."Borderman"


We found this to be informative and entertaining reading about Baja in earlier days.
