There is a fascinating and rare first-hand account of what life was like in the earliest years of the Halfmoon Bay settlement; Gary Little tracked it down. The old document is not signed, but an educated guess is that the writer was Chris Dalton, son of Frederick W. Dalton, a Halfmoon Bay pioneer whose name appears on the honour roll plaque mentioned in the document.
His daughter Patty Cooper Hilton found the letter in the business papers of Jim Cooper, who passed away in 1977. Cooper acquired the Redrooffs resort in late 1945.
