Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning from the early 1900s through the 1960's, this nostalgic ride through Northern California and Oregon is one of the most highly visual histories ever written on U. S. Highway 99. Vintage postcard images depict how the crudely constructed Pacific Highway transitioned into the modern and paved U. S. Highway 99, only to be mostly abandoned when the new interstate opened. Traversing a myriad of landscapes, Highway 99 meanders through quaint towns and big cities, past towering pines and snow-capped mountains as mighty rivers gush through steep rugged canyons toward the fertile valleys of Oregon. Adding to the grandeur of this scenic route are iconic landmarks such as Mt. Shasta, Mt. McLoughlin, and Mt. Hood. Mostly abandoned stretches of the old highway reveal the hauntingly sad remains of deserted motels, gas stations, and tourist spots, their images lovingly preserved. Learn why the Pacific Highway gets confused with the Pacific Coast Highway. Learn how Interstate 5 evolved from a crude one-lane dirt road. Learn how U. S. Highway 99 became historically designated. Learn how travelers transitioned from tent camping to cozy motels. Learn the perils and predicaments of early highway travel. Learn why Mom & Pop became a big part of roadside businesses. Contains more than 600 rare roadside images
Download or read book Beyond Cannery Row written by Carol Lynn McKibben and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2006-01-04 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a nuanced story of women, migration, community, industry, and civic life at the turn of the twentieth century, Carol Lynn McKibben's Beyond Cannery Row analyzes the processes of migration and settlement of Sicilian fishers from three villages in Western Sicily to Monterey, California--and sometimes back again. McKibben's analysis of gender and gender roles shows that it was the women in this community who had the insight, the power, and the purpose to respond and even prosper amid changing economic conditions. Vividly evoking the immigrants' everyday experiences through first-person accounts and detailed description, McKibben demonstrates that the cannery work done by Sicilian immigrant women was crucial in terms of the identity formation and community development. These changes allowed their families to survive the challenges of political conflicts over citizenship in World War II and intermarriage with outsiders throughout the migration experience. The women formed voluntary associations and celebrated festas that effectively linked them with each other and with their home villages in Sicily. Continuous migration created a strong sense of transnationalism among Sicilians in Monterey, which has enabled them to continue as a viable ethnic community today.
