SynopsisFeatures photographs from the Seventies that reveal a community that rejected consumerism for the healing power of Nature, while the story of Taylor Camp's seven-year existence is documented through interviews made thirty years later with the campers, their neighbours and the Kauai officials who finally evicted them. In 1969 Howard Taylor, brother of Elizabeth, bailed out a rag-tag band of thirteen young Mainlanders jailed on Kauai for vagrancy and invited them to camp on his oceanfront land. Soon waves of hippies, surfers and troubled Vietnam vets found their way to, This title documents the history of Taylor Camp, a clothing-optional, pot-friendly, tree house village set up in 1969 on Kauai, Hawaii by Howard Taylor, brother of Elizabeth. The book features photographs accompanied by moving texts and interviews with the principal protagonists (and antagonists).
