Up and out of its Spanish and Mexican heritage Los Angeles exploded like no other city -- from a humble beginning in 1781 to a giant megalopolis sheltering millions of people of every kind. There are over three hundred pictures here to help you follow along through its Spanish and Mexican days, of missions and padres, fiestas, fandangos, cock fights, and dons; its persistent and victorious Yankee immigration; the Gold Rush, the finding of black gold; the endless real estate booms; the busts; the energetic sale of its oranges and climate to a vitamin hungry and shivering nation. Continue past the Depression and Los Angeles' reputation as the Promised Land for the desperate of the Dust Bowl. Watch it grow and give itself through the uncertain days of World War II. View the workers, the lovers, the rascals, the builders, and the great industries- shipbuilding and finance, aviation, oil, movies, and real estate. Discover that, in spite of a beautiful, fruitful land and a sunshine-blessed climate, Angelenos had to contend with earthquakes, floods, droughts, murders, crimes, and smog. Los Angeles was like no other, and its scenes and faces show why. It may today be a community of suburbs in search of a city, stretched out from harbors to mountains, from desert to ocean, but that is because it has never stopped growing. For those who lived there and for those who were coming, it was the Promised Land.
