It was in 1888; four short years after he first came to Fresno County to farm wheat; that Thomas Law Reed made a deal with the Southern Pacific Railroad. In exchange for a half-interest in 360 acres of Reeds farmland; the railroad would build a depot along its east side branch and help develop a townsite. The town was Reedley. See what happened when settlers arrived. Watch as homes are built; as businesses are started; and as schools and churches are founded. Witness farmers cultivate the regions rich soil; and with irrigation; grow a bounty of crops that they will ship near and far. View a place of dusty streets and simple wooden buildings transformed into a modern 20th-century community. Meet the people of Reedley as they work; learn; worship; and celebrate. This book is Reedleys family photo album.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. consise and informativeBy A Customeran excellent book for urban design students; with clearly defined and sequenced content; supported by appropriate case studies. Possibly the only negative thing about the book is its "textbook" nature; but very informative; nevertheless.
