The book includes stories of the early years; yarns of love, adventure, and wealth; it also documents the development of vineyards and orange and lemon groves and fruit orchards in the early part of the century. The empire can be roughly described as an expanse bordered by the Ontario-Upland area on the west, the ridges of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains on the north, the deserts' edge on the east and a line extending from Banning to Corona on the south. The book contains photographs, illustrations, and a bibliography. This copy is SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, inscribed on the title page, and is clean and solid.<

Sleeping Giant is a thoughtful and robust narrative of the inland region of Southern California's transition from a wild desert wilderness held together by nothing much more than Indians, sagebrush, and adobes, to the vibrant economic and industrial engine that it is today. Its pages contain a reservoir of stories of the early years and include more than a history of the waning days of the Wild West. It traces the monumental transformation of the area in its passage through times of pioneer settlement, the dawn of an agrarian age, development of railroads and industry, as well as the founding of villages that would become pulsating communities bulging with a population of millions. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs, Sleeping Giant heralds an ever-promising future for the people of the Inland Empire. americas,history,natural history,nature and ecology,science and math,state and local Science & Math, Stephens Press LLC<
