The Alice Saga

By Max C. Norton

The great farm depression of the 1920s brought a mass migration of bankrupt farmers from the Midwest and mountain states to California. The Alice Saga, Max C. Norton artfully blends fact and fiction to portray the lives of these people, who came to the West so full of hope but found that California had problems of its own.

Stories of Stanislaus

By Sol P. Elias
Introducing the reprint of the original 1924 edition, 344 pages, unabridged and beautifully bound.

Many stories in this book give amazing details of the development of irrigation in our count and the fight between the irrigationists and the anti-irrigationists. Other chapters cover Estanislao and the eventual disappearance of our Indian population. And there are still other chapters about several smaller communities outside of Modesto, as well as stories of Modesto's growth and its first schools and theater, its Vigilantes, and its early special events. Many names of pioneer residents are names of families still living in our county.

$24.00 per copy tax and shipping included
