Kathleen Tone Hammer, unlike most of us, does not have to relive the good old days. She is living it every day, at the very same ranch that was established by her great-grandfather, the original Jack Tone, who came to California from New York with the Audubon party during the Gold Rush in 1849. The ranch even has its original name still – the Jack Tone Ranch which is recognized as California’s oldest family-owned and continuously operated horse ranch.
