Inscribed by the authors on the front free endsheet. In this urban biography, which is an anthology, John and LaRee Caughey illustrate the unarguable thesis that Los Angeles together with its surrounding areas is both remarkable and distinctive. With the authority of a lifetime of historical research, the Caugheys chose selections from around a hundred authors whose writings fit into a roughly chronological series of eleven chapters that reach from 'The Gabrielino and Their Home' to 'City Limits and New Horizons.'.
