Paperback. Zustand: Good. Orange County is one of the best-known, yet least understood, counties in California. The popular image of beautiful people in beach cities is certainly accurate. But the Orange County that is often overlooked includes workaday lives in Anaheim, the barrios of Santa Ana, townhouse living in Brea and the diverse communities of Little Saigon, Little Texas, Los Rios, La Habra and Silverado Canyon. Modern Orange County offers very little sense of history, and it sometimes seems as if the urbanization of the 1960s is all that defines the place. Orange County historian Phil Brigandi fills in the gaps with this collection of essays that explores the very creation of the county, as well as pressing issues of race, citrus, attractions and annexation. …

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Borrego Beginnings: Early Days in the Borrego Valley, 1910-1960 (Borrego Desert Heritage Series) BY Phil Brigandi, 2001, softcover, illustrated. Picture an isolated little desert community, connected to the outside world by just a few winding dirt roads. Agriculture is key to the local economy, but a few tourists are starting to come, many attracted by the annual wildflower bloom. Is it the little homesteader community of Borrego in the 1930s, or the new resort town of Borrego Springs in the 1950s? It could be either. Borrego and Borrego Springs are linked not only by place, but in the ways both communities developed. This is not to say that Borrego Springs has not grown far beyond anything Borrego's early settlers ever could have imagined, but without Borrego's pioneer homesteaders, there most likely never would have been Borrego Springs. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Dust Jacket. In this work, historian and Orange native, Phil Brigandi, traces the roots of the city back to its small-town origins: the steam whistle of the Peanut Roaster, the citrus packers tissue-wrapping oranges for transport, Miss Orange leading the May Festival parade and the students of Orange Union High painting the O and celebrating Dutch-Irish Days.
