Very interesing book with a lot of interesting photos of the Summer of Love in Haight Ashbury. "On reflection, my Haight-Ashbury experience was one of witnessing a twentieth-century Children's Crusade, a search by young people for consciousness and enlightenment. Certainly that mid-'sixties period was a psychic revolution with strong spiritual overtones. This book is a celebration of some of the events that occurred in and around the HaightAshbury, with new background information concerning the beginnings. This story is what I witnessed, the people I met and what I perceived to be happening. I emphasize that my story is only a small part of a larger history that covered many years. These are my recollections of key events that I feel started it all—a fifteen-month gestation period, November 1965 to mid-January 1967. I have tried to check my memory with the people who are part of this volume. I have focused on circumstance and people that I feel shaped that period that has been tagged "The Summer of Love" in the Haight-Ashbury, a movement that was like a fragile butterfly testing its wings for flight."
