    In Search of West Valley History

    Local historians seek remnants of the area's past


    In 1775-76, the members of the De Anza expedition encountered dozens of villages and wave upon wave of American Indians as they journeyed through the West Valley. They also found a vast expanse of redwood stands, oak savannas and a network of seasonal pools in the lowlands surrounding the bay. Today, every tree has a house hiding behind it. Snaking freeways replace vernal pools. But from this hill, Steve Haze has a clear shot south into the Almaden Valley and north to a sketchy San Francisco skyline. He can make out De Anza's general route up the west side of the bay. From here, Haze, a 50-year-old high-tech consultant, likes to squint and drift back into time.   More
