Description
Captain Joseph Canet was born in Cayucos, California, on November 25th, 1895. Canet left Southern California after 1910 and traveled with a captain up the coast to San Francisco's Barbary Coast. Canet's oral history describes his paternal lineage going back to his great-great-great-great grandfather, his early years living on a ranch by Diablo Canyon, his travels to Chile, his career as a policeman in Marin County, and his memories of Mill Valley, including the Fire of 1929.
