This review is from: Benicia, Portrait of an Early California Town: An Architectural History (Paperback)

This book provides an very complete look at not only the architectural history of the town of Benicia, but also the history of one of the first permanent military installations founded by the United State Army in the far west. Anyone who has a an interest in western military history, western architcture, or local Northern California history should have a copy of this book. The illustrations are complete and alone could fill a separeate volume.
