The name of Gargantua was a household word throughout this country, and his picture was spread around the world. Millions stood in line through rain, wind, cold, and heat to pay admission to see this ugliest (if not largest or fiercest) member of the ape family ever seen outside the jungles of Africa. And after twelve years of stardom, major wire services flashed the news of his death around the world. Gene Plowden tells us how the young, terribly mutilated gorilla was nursed to health and domesticated by a remarkable woman; how the maturing animal helped the Ringling North brothers revive their troubled enterprise; how the carefully contrived stories of the beast's strength and ferocity created a living legend, making news copy wherever the show went.

Neil Morgan grew up in North Carolina and graduated from Wake Forest University. A winner of the Ernie Pyle Memorial Award, he has written a column in San Diego for forty years and served as editor of the San Diego Tribune until 1992. Tom Blair for decades told the city of San Diego's story in snippets as a magazine editor and columnist for The San Diego Union and Tribune. He took an interest in politics, but grew bored with zoning issues. Then came a note from Neil Morgan, the legendary city columnist, inviting him to assist. Blair gradually took over the column, writing much of it even with Morgan's name on top. Later he got his own column at the rival San Diego Union. Derived from a review from the San Diego History Center found on-line: Thi book was reviewed by Gary F. Kurutz, Library Director of the California Historical Society. Beginning in 1874 with the photographically illustrated Chamber of Commerce guide book, the City of San Diego has inspired numerous pictorial essays promoting her charm or documenting her storied past. The latest pictorial contribution is Yesterday's San Diego by Neil Morgan, the well-known San Diego Tribune columnist and his colleague at the newspaper, Tom Blair. Composed of nearly 300 illustrations selected mainly from the rich pictorial archive of the San Diego Title Insurance and Trust Company, this volume visually describes the history of the Southland metropolis from its days as a Spanish settlement to the post-war boom of the 1940's. Rich in anecdotal material, the authors in the introductory narrative have presented the reader with a splendid psychological analysis of San Diego. Morgan and Blair eloquently reflect on the town's efforts to surpass Los Angeles and San Francisco as the great Pacific port, its failure to achieve that cherished goal, and its happy realization that mushrooming growth would most certainly destroy its enchanting environment. Illustrations of lot auctions, promoters, new houses, fancy hotels, elegant theaters, grand expositions, tent cities, romantic adobes, various modes of transportation, and balmy beaches depict the typical inducements city fathers utilized to capture the attention of the Eastern health seeker. Portraits and biographical sketches of Alonzo Horton, John D. Spreckles, and E. W. Scripps, remind the reader of the powerful personalities that injected San Diego with economic success. The authors covered the tremendous impact of the navy and armed services. Particularly delightful are the magnificent photographs of those early flying machines of Curtiss and Ryan that led to the development of a major San Diego industry. Morgan and Blair entertain the reader by with various vignettes. The story of the alluring and exotic theosophical center of Katherine Tingley, the heartwarming account of San Diego's faithful dog Bum, the debacle of C. H. Towler's 250 foot long air machine, and the campaign to clean up a red light district illustrate a few of the episodes that served to enrich the city's character. Morgan and Blair are to be commended for compiling into a single volume the most extensive graphic collection on San Diego. It will certainly provide the general reader and specialist with a key to the visual lore of San Diego's remarkable history.
