Synopsis
On the Tapo recalls Simí Valley in the agricultural era. It must be difficult for newcomers and younger residents to imagine that not too long ago, agriculture was the most important industry in Simí Valley. Before the housing subdivision boom, groves dominated the Simí Valley landscape. There were orchards which produced apricots, walnuts and oranges, and ranches that produced beets and barley. The Tapo Citrus Association and the Tapo District were the epitome of agriculture in Simí.Author Patricia Havens remembers when it was apricot harvesting time. Almost everyone in the valley would stop what they were doing, work in the apricot pitting sheds until the harvest and processing was done, and then go back to their regular business. Patricia worked in the pitting sheds, as well as in the Tapo Citrus packing house located in Santa Susana, individually wrapping each orange in a square of tissue paper, before it was packed in a crate.On the Tapo tells the story of the Tapo Rancho and the Tapo District through photographs, personal accounts, and documents obtained from the Tapo Mutual Water Company and the Tapo Citrus Association. The Tapo Rancho flourished for several decades of the 1800s before pioneers arrived in the valley. Its modern agricultural history, by way of the Tapo Mutual Water Company, lasted fifty years. This book invites you to go back to when the valley of Simí was dotted with orchards and ranches, and visit the area that was known as "the Tapo."

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
