Along the Old Roads has been described as the definitive history of Riverside County, California. It's 902-page length delves into the settlement patterns of the area, the formation of the towns and cities that were present up to 1893, and then details all of the efforts that went into creating Riverside County. Unlike many of its predecessors, though, Along the Old Roads tells of Riverside County's formation through the eyes of both the proponents and opponents, who fought to keep the status quo. The book consists of very readable text, most of which is cited with references and additional information in the citations. In addition, several photos, maps, and many contemporary descriptions of towns, areas, and narratives of the county division struggle also appear, as do more than 25 appendices offering further background information. If you are interested in any aspect of Riverside County history, or Southern California in general, Along the Old Roads would be a worthwhile addition to your library. |
