Book Description
Excerpt from California's Redwood Wonderland: Humboldt County How one loves the rains - prepares for them! Dress in your rainy day clothes; put on your rubbers, slicker or rain coat; grasp the trusty umbrella, and let it pour. The weary exile, in the dry and perpetual sunshine of other climes, panting for his native land, wonders what is the matter with him. The symptoms of trouble are easily read. His skin is dry, his eyes are red and inflamed, the webs between his fingers and toes itch, he has a nervous feeling. A duck out of water is the simile which applies to him. Longing will not cure him. What he needs is a winter trip to dear old Humboldt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In the vein of Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief and Deborah Feldman's Unorthodox, journalist Emily Brady journeys into a secretive subculture--one that marijuana built. Say the words "Humboldt County" to a stranger and you might receive a knowing grin. The name is infamous, and yet the place, and its inhabitants, have been nearly impenetrable. Until now. Humboldt is a narrative exploration of an insular community in Northern California, which for nearly 40 years has existed primarily on the cultivation and sale of marijuana. It's a place where business is done with thick wads of cash and savings are buried in the backyard. In Humboldt County, marijuana supports everything from fire departments to schools, but it comes with a heavy price. As legalization looms, the community stands at a crossroads and its inhabitants are deeply divided on the issue--some want to claim their rightful heritage as master growers and have their livelihood legitimized, others want to continue reaping the inflated profits of the black market. Emily Brady spent a year living with the highly secretive residents of Humboldt County, and her cast of eccentric, intimately drawn characters take us into a fascinating, alternate universe. It's the story of a small town that became dependent on a forbidden plant, and of how everything is changing as marijuana goes mainstream.
