Hearst Ranch: Family, Land, And Legacy Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Hearst Ranch offers readers an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the stunningly beautiful 82,000-acre cattle ranch surrounding William Randolph Hearst’s legendary Hearst Castle. Much of this spectacular landscape is still privately owned and has never been seen—but this book changes that. Through historical images from the vast Hearst archive and full-color photography commissioned for this volume, the Hearst Ranch and its many century-old ranch buildings and residences designed by Julia Morgan are revealed for the first time. Kastner’s engaging and insightful text shares new tales of the Hearst family, of the talented Morgan and her staff, of the many colorful ranch employees, and of the countless Hollywood movie stars who joined Hearst and Marion Davies as they went roughing it out on the ranch. Featuring stunning vistas of the California coastline and dramatic scenes of the Hearst cowboys in action, this book tells an unforgettable story and provides an in-depth look at a remarkable family and their love for one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Praise for Hearst Ranch: “This handsome and lavishly illustrated book gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the famous estate.” —Chicago Tribune

My brother is an avid Hearst Castle fan. When I saw this on a local news channel report, I did not hesitate to buy this for him. He was shocked when he opened it and was thrilled about the history and the beautiful pictures. He kept reading me excerpts from the book and raving about the wonderful pictures. He like others always wondered about the ranch and here is the best book to inform people of more of the rich history of this awesome spot on the central coast.
Incredibly well written text and beautiful photographic layout. This is a side to the Hearst legacy that seems has never truly been public, so it was a very fascinating read!
The book is fantastic. Beautiful photos and well written. Historically documented and easy to read. A joy for anyone living here on the central coast .
Had been to SanSimeon. Wanted to know more. It is an amazing history. To see how much land he owned at one time and how well he cared for the land.
I really enjoyed all the great photographs by Richard Levine. A wonderful historical view of the Hearst Ranch and all the cattle ranching information.
Given as a gift to relative who lived on the ranch and tutored Hearst children. He really enjoyed reading the book!
Great book. Wish there were more pictures of the ranch house, kennels, horses, ranch kitchen etc. Loads of history.
Very good read on the Hearst Ranch. The history on the ranch is incredible and this book adds to the story.
