Ask a question about this product

This year's Periscope is the most detailed account ever assembled of early days in Pinyon, a community in the local mountains on Highway 74 above Palm Desert. The author, Harry M. Quinn, grew up surrounded by legendary mountain characters. He had a rare knack for listening to adults, memorizing both their anecdotes and their quirks of personality. The combination makes for compelling history.

Quinn was introduced to the Pinyon flats area in 1941 by his grandparents, Harry and Mary Elizabeth Caldwell. They first stayed in a tent in the Pinyon Flats and Hurkey Creek Campgrounds. In December of 1941 the Caldwells purchased the Chaffey Grant Estate cabin in the Pinyon Pines (then often called Nightingale) subdivision and he has been going there off and on ever since.
