Introduction To The Manson Family
By the time she had become pregnant with her second child, Linda was feeling rejected by her husband, who had left her behind for the South American trip. A friend of Melton's, Catherine "Gypsy" Share, described an idyllic ranch where a group of hippies was establishing a "hole in the earth" paradise to escape the anticipated social turmoil. The "hole" sounded like the Hopi legends that she had read about as a girl, and Kasabian was intrigued. In 1969, she decided against attending the July 4th Malibu "Love-In", and instead - daughter Tanya in tow - followed Share to the Spahn Ranch in the Chatsworth area of Los Angeles, where she met Manson.

“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
