Local historian Jeanne Farr McDonnell recounts the unusual life of Juana Briones de Miranda, one of the first residents of what is now San Francisco, but what was then known as Yerba Buena (Good Herb), reportedly after a medicinal tea she concocted. Among the few women in California of her time to own property in her own name, she proved to be a skilled farmer, rancher, and businesswoman. In retelling her life story, Ms. McDonnell also reveals the history of nineteenth-century California from the unique perspective of this surprising woman. Signed copies of Ms. McDonnell's book, Juana Briones of Nineteenth-Century California, will be available for sale.
