Download An Illustrated History of Mexican Los Angeles, 1781-1985 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This monograph provides a scholarly and comprehensive record of the history of Mexican Los Angeles, founded as a Spanish pueblo in 1781. Two centuries of history are covered from both a social and cultural perspective and are highlighted with more than 150 illustrations, photographs, and maps. Chapters focus on the city's Native American prehistory, early exploration, varied accounts of the founding of the city in 1781, and family portraits and chronology of the early years. Other chapters detail the growth, prosperity, and conflict of the Mexican national years; initial accommodations enabling cultural maintenance and community isolation; and development of the 20th-century Spanish press and new barrios of the early 1900s. Chapters also discuss changes during the depression and war years and the recent assertion of the city's Mexican community as a cultural and political force. Facts are carefully documented in each chapter and sources are cited in a 256-item bibliography. (NEC)

Download The Story of Hollywood Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Before the film industry arrived, Hollywood was filled with quaint bungalows, millionaires' estates, and churches dedicated to teetotalism. Movies shattered Hollywood's tranquillity, and brought wealth, fame and glamorous movie stars. The giants of the movie industry invented klieg-lighted movie premieres and the Academy Awards in Hollywood. Go beyond the star-studded surface to the district's days of union busting, gangsters, and scandal, foreshadowing Hollywood's seedy decline. The book concludes with Hollywood's redevelopment that continues today. The book features the famous faces and places that made the town legendary, offering a unique perspective on celebrity nightlife and the behind-the-scenes stories of day-to-day life. Lavishly illustrated with over 800 vintage images from the author's private collection, "The Story of Hollywood" brings new insights to readers with a passion for Hollywood and its place in the history of film, radio, and television.
