Beside the LA River: The Story of Early Los Angeles Pioneers - Paperback
Description
by Mark a. Rozelle (Author)
Bazil and Edith Rozelle have just married in Cincinnati in 1891 and are living a very comfortable life. With lofty expectations they trade that life in to take over her late brother's 114 acre farm in Los Angeles. Their dreams are challenged as they try to farm in a drought, raise children in a tiny home and live in isolation a day's journey from the big city. The farm adjoins the Los Angeles River, which was but a trickle when they arrived. Over the next 40 years they grew wealthy from that river and then faced ruin before its raging fury. This book includes over 150 never before published photos the family took of early Los Angeles, Catalina Island and their primitive farm life. We follow the couple's romance, daring, tragedy and triumph as they experience the depression, a devastating earthquake and that moody Los Angeles River.
