Santa Monica: A History on the Edge (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781589730717)

An icon of Southern California and one of America's most imaginative and vibrant cities-the fitting destination at the end of Route 66-Santa Monica lies on the brink of the West and is known throughout the nation for its beaches and its Hollywood A-list locals With a foundation built by the Gabrielino Indians and molded by Spanish and Mexican land grants, railroad battles, and a constant influx of settlers, Santa Monica became an oceanside haven for actors and airplane companies, road races and ranchers.
