The Wallace Family: Neal Hotelling's 3-part series in the The Carmel Pine Cone

Author and historian Neal Hotelling shares the story of The Wallace family of Carmel in the historic local newspaper, The Carmel Pine Cone. His three-part column was inspired by the publication of "The Big Work: 125 Years of Art, Journalism, and the American West," which sparked his interest in further researching the life of these early founding members of the bohemian Carmel artist community.

Part 1: Lady Godiva rode a zebra and an artist became an empress
The first in this series tells the story of artist Moira Wallace, and explores her impact on the art world in Monterey and San Francisco during key periods of the 1900s.

Part 2: A time when Carmelites were even more brilliant than they are now
The second column in Hotelling's series reveals the impact The Wallace Family had on the bourgeoning artist community of Carmel-by-the-Sea when they joined as "full-time" resident in 1909.

Part 3: He brought the wisdom of space and planted Eucalyptus trees
The final column in this series follows Grant Wallace's escapades as a journalist, adventurer, and sometimes-failed businessman, revealing the impact his legacy has left on California, journalism, and the occult.
