BorderlandsSettlement of southern California began long before America's triumphant march westward from the Atlantic coast, as evidenced by the interconnected lives of three people who lived through California's transition from native land to Spanish colony and from Mexican province to American state. - Wild WestE2
Wild WestBefore Hollywood, Los Angeles was a real frontier town of gunslingers, lynch mobs, and locomotives. L.A. has been reckoning with that past by examining hanging trees, the massacre of eighteen Chinese immigrants in 1971 near what is now Olvera Street, and railroad promotional campaigns depicting Los Angeles as paradise. - Pacific RimE6
Pacific RimAmericans have long looked at the California shore and seen the end of the continent, but that sandy edge is the beginning of a Pacific world -- one that has long influenced Los Angeles through not only geology and climate, but also the transoceanic flows of people, goods, technology, and cultural ideas.
