· Seabiscuit, the famous racehorse, and his owner, Charles Howard
Few people in this scrappy former timber town nestled in the redwoods would disagree that the most famous citizen ever to hail from here was short-legged, knobby-kneed, somewhat scrawny and ill-tempered -- a mud-colored underdog, not unlike Willits itself.
-- The New York Times, July 15, 2003
