Filmed over 10 years on and around the mountain, the documentary Monadnock: The Mountain that Stands Alone uses live cinematography, original music, and historical archival imagery, to tell the story of the original inhabitants of the region, those who were inspired by the mountain - Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Abbott Thayer, Amos Fortune, and the hard work of those to preserve the mountain-including money from children's piggy banks to save “our” mountain.

From late 1969 through early 1973 and several reunions thereafter, the band with the inscrutable name, Oganookie, was one of the the best-known, most active, and beloved bands in Northern California. Oganookie performed throughout the Monterey Bay and San Francisco Bay areas, and also included Napa/Sonoma and Stockton. The band averaged about 150 to 160 performances a year.
