Download Latinos in Pasadena Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Histories of Pasadena are rich in details about important citizens, time-honored traditions, and storied enclaves such as Millionaires Row and Lamanda Park. But the legacies of Mexican Americans and other Latino men and women who often worked for Pasadena's rich and famous have been sparsely preserved through the generations--even though these citizens often made remarkable community contributions and lived in close proximity to their employers. A fuller story of the Pasadena area can be provided from these vintage images and the accompanying information culled from anecdotes, master's theses, newspaper articles, formal and informal oral histories, and the Ethnic History Research Project compiled for the City of Pasadena in 1995. Among the stories told is that of Antonio F. Coronel, a one-time Mexican Army officer who served as California state treasurer from 1866 to 1870 and whose image graced the 1904 Tournament of Roses program.

The name Pasadena evoked images of wonder and excitement to millions of Americans living at the turn of the 20th century. At the end of a railroad journey through a thousand miles of desert lay the Crown City of California. Its great hotels were unsurpassed for their elegance and service. Driveways of palatial homes wound down to palm-lined streets filled with carriages and limousines. Pasadena was as close to paradise as America had to offer. Founded in 1874 by a small group of transplanted Indianans, Pasadena began as an agricultural center. But its refreshing climate and unique geography attracted a parade of visionaries and con artists who soon left their mark on the story of a budding city. After completion of the Santa Fe Railway's transcontinental link via Pasadena, the boom of the 1880s brought a rise in property values, and with it grandiose real estate and transportation schemes. Steam railways were built to provide direct rail service to downtown Los Angeles. Then came California's first electric interurban, with local lines replacing horsecar systems, and then Henry E. Huntington united the electric railways of Southern California to form his famous Pacific Electric Railway. Also presented is the story of the city itself, with its great hotels, homes, the Rose Parade, and life in the San Gabriel Valley.--From publisher description.

Download South Pasadena Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
South Pasadena is a small city among giants, sandwiched between the great metropolis of Los Angeles and its nationally famous namesake neighbor, Pasadena. Described as a modernday Mayberry and a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, South Pasadena thoroughly represents the very idea of "Main Street America." The city's 40year fight against the I710 Freeway extension is legendary in suburban efforts to maintain cultural identity. "South Pas," as residents know it, was named five times on the National Historic Register's top10 list of "Most Endangered Places." The city's resistance to outside forces threatening to erode the rich heritage captured in these evocative images has made this "little guy" municipality a giant in the historicpreservation battle.
