5.0 out of 5 stars
Must-have book on Sonoma County, February 23, 2006
This review is from: Sonoma: The River of Time (Hardcover)
Local historian Simone Wilson wrote this fine general history (with index) of Sonoma County in 1990. It includes chapters on "Legacy of the Past" (on the Native American peoples), "Forts and Haciendas," "Building Main Street" (the establishment of towns in the county), "Commerce in Motion" (railroads and river commerce), "Immigrants and Agriculture," "Quake to 1940" (the early years of the 20th century), and "A Toast to the Future." It also has an extensive bibliography. Glossy paper and tons of vintage photos make it a quality gift book that can be a good souvenir for visitors, as well as a staple of one's local history library.
