San Diego in the 1930s offers a lively account of the city’s culture, roadside attractions, and history—from the days of the Spanish missions to the pre-Second World War boom. The guide is revealing both in the opinions it embodies and in the juicy details it records—tidbits such as the bloodiest and most incompetently fought battle of the Mexican-American War, Emma Goldman’s abruptly terminated speech to local Wobblies in 1912, and even a delightfully anachronistic way to beat a San Diego speeding ticket. Brimming with tours that can prove challenging to retrace, this book reminds us of the changes wrought by seven decades of intervening war, peace, and biotechnology. Unlatching a remarkable trapdoor into the past, this compact and charming document of the Depression era invites repeated browsing and is generously illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs that bring the period to life.

Excerpt from Transactions of the San Diego Society of Natural History, 1930-1931, Vol. 6 To produce a complete list of all insects that occur in any large circumscribed area is practically an impossibility. Even an accurate record of all the butterflies to be found in so extensive and varied a territory as San Diego County entails a vast amount of field work at every season of the year, supplemented by ample technical facilities and knowledge. The writer therefore makes no claim of infallibility for the present paper, and presents it merely as the sum of his accumulated data and experience at the present time. The future will doubtless bring about changes and additions, especially when more intensive collecting is done in the eastern and northern parts of the County.

In the American Southwest, no two events shaped modern Spanish heritage more profoundly than the San Diego Expositions of 1915-16 and 1935-36. Both San Diego fairs displayed a portrait of the Southwest and its peoples for the American public. The Panama-California Exposition of 1915-16 celebrated Southwestern pluralism and gave rise to future promotional events including the Long Beach Pacific Southwest Exposition of 1928, the Santa Fe Fiesta of the 1920s, and John Steven McGroarty's The Mission Play. The California-Pacific International Exposition of 1935-36 promoted the Pacific Slope and the consumer-oriented society in the making during the 1930s. These San Diego fairs distributed national images of southern California and the Southwest unsurpassed in the early twentieth century. By examining architecture and landscape, American Indian shows, civic pageants, tourist imagery, and the production of history for celebration and exhibition at each fair, Matthew Bokovoy peels back the rhetoric of romance and reveals the legacies of the San Diego World's Fairs to reimagine the Indian and Hispanic Southwest. In tracing how the two fairs reflected civic conflict over an invented San Diego culture, Bokovoy explains the emergence of a myth in which the city embraced and incorporated native peoples, Hispanics, and Anglo settlers to benefit its modern development.

Known to its residents as "America’s Finest City," San Diego has a mild, inviting climate and stunning coastal scenery. San Diego Then and Now looks at how the city developed from a small village settled by early Franciscan missionaries and the Spanish military. It came under U.S. rule in 1846, but it was not until 1867 when San Francisco speculator and businessman Alonzo E. Horton acquired 960 acres of waterfront land and promoted it as "New Town" that San Diego really began to take off.San Diego Then and Now pairs archival photographs with modern views of the same scene to illustrate the city’s growth since these humble beginnings. It shows how the city’s architecture still reflects and preserves its Spanish heritage but also incorporates modern glass skyscrapers and Victorian mansions.Sites include: Horton Plaza, U.S. Grant Hotel, Stingaree District, Speckels Theatre, Fifth Avenue, Seaport Village, Embarcadero, Star of India, Coronado, Hotel del Coronado, Santa Fe Depot, Carnegie Library, El Cortez Hotel, Long-Waterman Mansion, Villa Montezuma, The Prado, San Diego Zoo, Old Globe Theatre, San Diego High School, Hillcrest, City Heights, Kensington, La Casa de Estudillo, Casa de Bandini, Whaley House, Junipero Serra Museum, Ballast Point, Point Loma, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach.

Between the years 1930 and 1965, C. Leon de Aryan wrote and edited a newspaper in San Diego, California entitled The Broom. The newspaper was radical right-wing and antisemitic, and pushed the alternative religion of Mazdaznan, of which de Aryan was a devout follower. This newspaper and the life of de Aryan gives insight to the antisemitism and radical right presence in San Diego, as well as to the diversity of the radical right during the 1930s and 1940s. De Aryan has been considered by historians and San Diego locals as unimportant and not influential. However, de Aryan's newspaper, The Broom, had a nationwide audience and was considered by the government to be seditious in nature. An immigrant born in Romania, he was followed by the F.B.I. shortly after his arrival in the United States, and he was later indicted during the large sedition trial of the 1940s. Through his newspaper he spread his ideas regarding antisemitism and Christian-alternative religion, as well as his criticism of the Federal Government under the direction of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. De Aryan's politics, religion, and life in San Diego reveal an important side to the city's history which has not yet been studied at length. Though the city was not necessarily outwardly welcoming towards reactionary right-wing groups, they harbored and, to a degree, sheltered them for a time, which shows a certain acceptance towards them.

Alive with the exuberance, contradictions, and variety of the Golden State, this Depression-era guide to California is more than 700 pages of information that is, as David Kipen writes in his spirited introduction, “anecdotal, opinionated, and altogether habit-forming.” Describing the history, culture, and roadside attractions of the 1930s, the WPA Guide to California features some of the very best anonymous literature of its era, with writing by luminaries such as San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, composer-writer- hobo Harry Partch, and authors Tillie Olsen and Kenneth Patchen.
