Inhaltsangabe:
Kings County is slowly becoming modern, as California's urban areas continue to expand into rural and formerly agricultural land. Still the open skies here look down upon copious amounts of historical significance. From the dwellings of the early Yokut people, ferries across the Kings River, the arrival of the railroad, and the subsequent Mussell Slough tragedy to the expansion of Highway 198, modernist buildings in Hanford, and the military presence at Lemoore, Kings County boasts compelling stories and a diverse group of people and places. In this engaging retrospective, readers will enjoy fantastic images of a Kings County that some say no longer exists.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Author and Hanford native Michael J. Semas has been collecting postcards of Kings County for nearly a decade and showcases here the best of his collection along with pristine examples from other private collectors. This volume of vintage Kings County images showcases the attractions that make this county one of California's favorites and the changes that time and development have brought to it.
