Histories of Pasadena are rich in details about important citizens; time-honored traditions; and storied enclaves such as Millionaires Row and Lamanda Park. But the legacies of Mexican Americans and other Latino men and women who often worked for Pasadenas rich and famous have been sparsely preserved through the generations--even though these citizens often made remarkable community contributions and lived in close proximity to their employers. A fuller story of the Pasadena area can be provided from these vintage images and the accompanying information culled from anecdotes; masters theses; newspaper articles; formal and informal oral histories; and the Ethnic History Research Project compiled for the City of Pasadena in 1995. Among the stories told is that of Antonio F. Coronel; a one-time Mexican Army officer who served as California state treasurer from 1866 to 1870 and whose image graced the 1904 Tournament of Roses program.

Great BookBy IxiasLove the book. The pictures are great. The articles on the stones will be a great resource for beginners and add details for the long time hobbyist.
