From the first European landfalls on the Pacific coast to the boom years that reshaped the shore, Ingersoll's Century History traces the making of the Santa Monica Bay cities with intimate, eyewitness detail. The past feels startlingly near. Luther A. Ingersoll gathers town origins, civic struggles, rail and harbour ambitions, and everyday scenes of Los Angeles pioneers and settlers into a vivid panorama of southern California, 1542-1908, culminating in the rise of Santa Monica and other bay communities. As a classic California local history book, it opens with a concise survey of the State, followed by a clear, readable account of Los Angeles County from mission days to modern municipal growth. The substantial encyclopaedia of local biography forms a remarkable Los Angeles County biography collection, rich in names, dates, and community roles that support genealogy and family research. Historic landmarks of California and the evolving landscape of Santa Monica Bay history appear in numerous descriptions and illustrations, making this an indispensable illustrated regional history volume, a trusted California county histories reference, and an inviting reference book for historians, students, and curious residents alike. First issued in the early twentieth century, Ingersoll's work stands as a cornerstone for western Americana history collectors and anyone seeking a grounded narrative of southern California, 1542-1908, centred on the Santa Monica Bay cities and their people. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
