From the Foreword- "The area has been widely publicized for its desirable characteristics and is one of the most famous in the western world, Nevertheless, much should be added to its early history, and the writing of its recent history has scarcely begun. Within the present generation, the population of the region has grown almost 350 percent and other developments have been comparable. Great achievements of this era deserve as adequate a record as the Spanish period, Gold Rush, or Vigilante days."
