Book excerpt: Sierra Madre, a suburban town in the Pasadena-Los Angeles orbit, has a distinct history. By contrast, Southern California's story is huge, varied, difficult to grasp. Examining the two together, and looking at how Sierra Madre has reflected regional and national experiences, brings new focus to the whole. Unlike histories of regions, states, and nations that must draw broad strokes at the expense of details about place--this work uses such references as windows onto larger meanings, taking readers beyond the local. Peeking out from behind intimate stories are big historical themes and epochs: the Industrial Revolution, Westward expansion, the role of illness in forming regional culture, Americanization policies of the Progressive Era, Japanese internment, and post-war development. Sierra Madre provides a sharp lens through which to interpret Southern California's intense allure, its history as a real estate deal, and its racial ambivalence. The context of a specific town--and the quest for a better life--lends fresh perspective that enlivens and deepens out understanding of the Southern California story.

Book excerpt: Franklin Walker, in his Literary history of Southern California (p. 123-124), states that "The literary document most important in its influence on the growth of the Spanish tradition in Southern California was the immensely popular Ramona ... Appearing in 1884, just before the spectacular boom, it created a nation-wide interest in South California, and it served as a sort of romantic guidebook during the tourist rush." According to Gary F. Kurutz, "Ramona did more to promote Southern California than just about any booster publication. Readers mistook her sad story of injustice as a tender love story and as a recreation of a mythical Arcadian paradise. The story of Ramona and her lover Alessandro became a fairy tale and not a message of reform;" see California calls you: the art of promoting the Golden State, 1870 to 1940 (Sausalito, Calif.: Windgate Press, c2000).

Download or read book The Story of Michael White written by Dorothy Jenkins Ross and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael White is a fascinating historical account of the development of California's San Gabriel Valley based on the life of Michael White, who was born in England in 1801 and at the age of 13 rode the high seas to become one of Southern California's founding pioneers. Factual accounts of his colorful life dramatically illustrate life surrounding the San Gabriel Mission under Spanish rule and early sea trading in the pacific region in the 1820s. After several years at sea, White adopts California as his home in 1828, becomes a Mexican citizen, and marries into a highly regarded mission family. Following the secularization and breakup of the mission lands in the 1830s, White becomes a respected horse rancher, and when the Bear Flag rebellion breaks out in 1846, White is soon swept into the fighting for an independent California republic. Then, when gold is discovered near Sacramento in 1848, White joins in. By the time he returns to his family in San Gabriel, California has become a state of the United States and his world is rapidly changing with large influxes of population, rampant land development, and the introduction of new technologies like trains and telegraphs. Rich in historical detail, with an extensive bibliography, the book contains over 25 early drawings, photographs, and specially constructed maps that allow the reader to follow Michael's lifelong adventures and appreciate the San Gabriel Valley's development from its early beginnings up through the start of the twentieth century.
