Most accounts of California’s role in the Civil War focus on the northern part of the state, San Francisco in particular. In Los Angeles in Civil War Days, John W. Robinson looks to the southern half and offers an enlightening sketch of Los Angeles and its people, politics, and economic trends from 1860 to 1865. Drawing on contemporary reports in the Los Angeles Star, Southern News, and other sources, Robinson shows how the war came to Los Angeles and narrates the struggle between the pro-Southern faction and the Unionists.
Los Angeles in the early 1860s was a developing town, lacking many of the refinements of civilization that San Francisco then enjoyed, and was much smaller than the bustling metropolis we know today. The book focuses on the effects of the war on Los Angeles, but Robinson also considers social and economic problems to provide a broader view of the community and its place in the nation. The Conscription Act and devalued greenbacks encited public unrest, and the cattle-killing drought of 1862–64, a smallpox epidemic, and recurrent vigilantism challenged Angelenos as well.
California historians and those interested in the city’s historical record will find this book a fascinating addition to the body of California’s Civil War history.

In 1903, Michael Rieder published Benjamin Cummings Truman's pictorial treatise on the Missions of California. Truman did not incorporate the informative notes and observations which he had earlier published, in newspaper form, after a 3 month investigative tour of the missions in 1867. Truman's observations are here reproduced in the scrapbook of clippings from the Los Angeles Star, the southland's first newspaper.

Now in its 7th edition, this book is the definitive guide to hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, only an hour or two from Los Angeles. Covering nearly every major trail in these mountains, this book describes 100 hikes, from short, popular hikes to longer, backcountry treks. These remarkable mountains are only a short distance from the dense population of Los Angeles, yet they offer tremendous opportunities for a true wilderness experience. Includes a separate, fold-out map showing all the trails. Find out why this book has become the "bible" for hiking the San Gabriels. Author John Robinson has been hiking the San Gabriels for over 30 years and is considered to be the foremost expert on the trails of these mountains.

Trails of the Angeles: 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels/Book and Map

The rugged San Gabriel Mountains, rising starkly from the edge of the Los Angeles Basin, provide a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and its surroundings. Angelinos across the county (a population of almost 10 million), as well as visitors from out of state, welcome the opportunity to escape from city chaos into the quiet wilderness. This 8th edition of the classic Wilderness Press guide has been revised and updated to reflect recent trail changes due to fires and floods, and now includes trips in the Fish Canyon Narrows, along Alder Creek, and to Jones Peak, as well as perennial favorites such as Old Baldy, Mt. Wilson, and Devils Punchbowl. Each detailed trip description notes the distance, difficulty, and ideal season, and points out the highlights of the trail.
