Kerman sits in the heart of California�s great San Joaquin Valley. First established in 1891 as a train stop for the Southern Pacific Railroad; the town site was originally named Collis Station for the railroad�s president; Collis P. Huntington. Even in its earliest days; agriculture was the driving force behind Kerman�s economy. Advances in irrigation as well as Kerman�s close proximity to two of the region�s largest rivers�Kings and San Joaquin�resulted in abundant access to water; attracting farmers and land investors at the start of the 20th century. As the community grew; alfalfa hay; raisins; and dairy products became mainstays in Kerman�s agricultural production. By 1910; Kerman had a volunteer fire department; a library; and new businesses. Images of America: Kerman explores the first 80 years of a town that continues to grow and diversify.

While i agree the two most well known names and people in history are Jesus and Elvis. this book reveals that Jesus is the Son of God and Elvis is the son of Vernon and Gladys. It proves the scripture about how people will love the creation more than the creator (God). I realize that Elvis was given more God-like charisma. angelic personality. divine looks. heavenly voice and other worldly presence than all other entertainers combined and this is an insight as to why so many fans wrestle with such adoration for all this power in one human being and it is an insight as to why even Elvis himself wrestled with it all his life too. The book reflects a fact that when God decided to sing through a man as he did through Elvis and he pours out the whole barrel of gifts from heaven upon him then that man (nor mankind) is not able to handle it.But the main message of this book is how Elviss death is now a baptism into Sainthood in his fanatical followers and how they place him side by side with Jesus hanging on their walls. Basically a study in the ultimate hero worship to dangerous levels.
