Book Synopsis
Exploring the Devilish History in the City of the Angels There's more to Los Angeles than lights, camera, action; discover the city yourself with these guided walking tours of LA's historic neighbourhoods, illustrated with colour photographs and period maps. From the city's early days marked by robber barons and oil wells to the invention of the movie camera, Chronicles of Old Los Angeles explains how the Wild West became the Left Coast, how Alta California became the 31st state, and how ethnic waves built Los Angeles from Native Americans to Spaniards, Latinos, Chinese, Japanese, and all the characters that crowded into California during the Gold Rush.
