Description
"The residents who came for peace hace turned again to flee; The abalones near the shore are moving out to sea," wrote W.K. Bassett in 1935 when he sold his newspaper, the Carmel Cymbal, and left the area for the last time. A staunch foe of development and what he called "tourist ballyhoo," Bassett ran the Carmely Cymbal, which was called "a clangorous weekly" with a "fire and brimstone editorial flavor," from 1926 to 1927 and again in the 1930s and 1940s. His son, John McCleary [Bassett], will offer a glimpse of the turbulent life of this unusual man. Feb 24, 1997 Harrison Memorial Library, Carmel, CA Copyright 1997.
