Book excerpt: One of the leading historians of the state of California and a photographer-collector of historical photographs of Stockton and San Joaquin County have collaborated to create this pictorial review of days past. The combined talents of Dr. R. Coke Wood and Leonard Covello have resulted in this attractive book, with its careful balance of text and photographs. The photographers (over 400 in the book) are a part of Mr. Covello's enormous collection, accumulated over a period of thirty years. Although alone they could tell the tale well, their value is expanded by the addition of Dr. Wood's text. All the subjects that are important to the people of Stockton are covered in these pages. Headings include waterways, education, law enforcement, transportation, entertainment, churches, the fire department, communications, hospitals, government, agriculture, business and commerce, sports, and buildings. Each chapter is a mini-history of the city in itself, with photographs from as long ago as 120 years and as recently as 1977--Inside flap.
