I've read about them in secondary sources - Can't Find My Way Home by Martin Torgoff, Acid Dreams by Martin Lee and Bruce Schlain, Moving Through Here by Don McNeill, and Ringolevio by Emmett Grogan. The story of the Haight during this time is an amazing story that is often reduced to the version that was popularized at the time by the mass media - look at the weirdos! There was so much more going on and the Diggers were a big part of that. It’s great to see more info about the Diggers.
