The author of A History of Wine in America recounts the beginnings of California’s wine trade in the once isolated pueblo now called Los Angeles. Winner of the 2016 California Historical Society Book Award! With incisive analysis and a touch of dry humor, The City of Vines chronicles winemaking in Los Angeles from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century through its decline in the 1950s. Thomas Pinney returns the megalopolis to the prickly pear-studded lands upon which Mission grapes grew for the production of claret, port, sherry, angelica, and hock. From these rural beginnings Pinney reconstructs the entire course of winemaking in a sweeping narrative, punctuated by accounts of particular enterprises including Anaheim’s foundation as a German winemaking settlement and the undertakings of vintners scrambling for market dominance. Yet Pinney also shows Los Angeles’s wine industry to be beholden to the forces that shaped all California under the flags of Spain, Mexico, and the United States: colonial expansion dependent on labor of indigenous peoples; the Gold Rush population boom; transcontinental railroads; rapid urbanization; and Prohibition. This previously untold story uncovers an era when California wine meant Los Angeles wine, and reveals the lasting ways in which the wine industry shaped the nascent metropolis.

Excerpt from All About Pasadena and Its Vicinity: Its Climate, Missions, Trails and Canons, Fruits, Flowers and Game Los Angeles County, Southern California, is almost as large as the State of Massachusetts. It is a cli matic paradox. Lying in the same latitude as North Carolina, it enjoys a winter in which roses bloom, and a summer cooler and more delightful than can be found in many eastern cities. Here the palm and apple, the pomegranate, banana, and every semi-twp ical and temperate fruit, ower, or plant grow side by side. The most attractive valley is the San Gabriel; and at its head, twenty-five miles from the Pacific, lies Pas adena - a city of fifteen thousand inhabitants, the home of a wealthy and cultivated community, the ideal health and fashionable resort.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... they have been swept away by the resistless, onward wave of human progress. CHAPTER VII. THE ANCIENT PASADENIANS. Sites of ancient villages. Curious stone implements unearthed. Stone mo tars and pestles. Arrow heads, Matates, Discoidal stones. The discoverer of Los Angeles County. TN driving about Pasadena the visitor will see in a number of places curious stones hollowed out, wellrounded stone clubs, flat-faced grinding stones, and a variety of rude stone implements evidently of great age. These objects have been plowed up in various parts of the city, and represent the household gods of the aboriginal Pasadenian, the dishes, grain crushers, balls for playing games, and weapons of a people about which very little is known. Before referring to them it will perhaps interest the reader to read portions of a diary or log of Jean Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Spanish adventurer, who was the first white man to enter San Pedro, the port of entry of Los Angeles County. The voyage was made in 1542, three hundred and forty-six years ago--one hundred years after the discovery of America by Columbus. The record was found in a library in Madrid: --"On the Tuesday and Wednesday following they sailed along the coast about eight leagues, and passed by some three uninhabited islands (probably Catalina and San Clemente). One of them was larger than the other and extended two entire leagues, and forms a shelter from the west winds. They are three leagues from the main land; they are in thirty-four degrees. This day they saw on land great signal smokes. It is a good land in appearance, and there are great valleys, and in the interior there are high ridges. They called them Las Islas Desiertas (the desert isles). "The Thursday following they proceeded...

From the educational space of UC Berkeley to a one-room library in Silverado Canyon, this tour of thirty-two California libraries explores the sense of space and unique atmosphere a structure can provide. Dividing California into eight distinct regions including the northern California coast, the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County, the work looks at a sampling of libraries from each area, discussing the surroundings, facilities and physical presentation of each building. Chosen libraries reflect the communities they serve as well as their particular missions. Entries include contact information for the selected library, a website address, and information regarding its size, circulation and the extent of its collection. Photographs of the libraries are also included.
