Inhaltsangabe

First home to Yokut Indians, then trappers, hunters, and fishermen, Lathrop was founded by Leland Stanford in 1869 as a railroad town and an answer to Stanford's frustration with his railroad attempts in Stockton. Lathrop's rich history includes the railroad, its Delta waterways, manufacturing and distributing industries, and the fascinating tale of California Supreme Court justice David S. Terry's murder (Terry had previously fought and won the last legal duel in California with U.S. senator David C. Broderick just outside of San Francisco). Reportedly named in honor of a relative of Leland Stanford Jr., today's Lathrop evolved from rugged railroad beginnings to a growing and vibrant community of close to 20,000 residents.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Author Jennifer Pyron, a Lathrop resident and history and genealogy enthusiast, uses vintage images to provide both a look back in time at the beginnings of this town located in California's Central Valley and a glimpse of Lathrop today. With a foreword by Mac Freeman, longtime Lathrop resident, local historian, and former mayor of Lathrop, this intriguing collection of photographs was generously shared by members of the community, the San Joaquin County Historical Museum, and other public and private collections.
