430 RETROSPECT-2001-465 eng Dingler, Nancy Meet the famous owner of Green Valley Country Club 2001-04-28 Have you ever noticed how many great public buildings started out as magnificent homes before their conversion? Such a building is the current Green Valley Country Club. The house was originally built by James Harbin on 130 acres that he had homesteaded. However, in my research, the most interesting owner of the home was the man who took possession of the property in 1864. Granville Swift was larger than life. He was well-known as a hunter, explorer, rebel and gold seeker, whose death was less than heroic. vacahc@gmail.com 465 87565441151 Publication/Article CaVaHC http://www.solanoarticles.com/history/index.php/vhcdb/465/ Read Article http://www.solanohistory.net/articles/465/465.1.pdf PDF Document
