Book excerpt: The thousands of acres of navel orange groves that once blanketed Riverside, California, were one of the most recognizable icons of the states early citrus industry and also the origin for Californias nickname, The Golden State. Founded as a utopian colony in the wake of the Civil War, Riverside soon began to lure wealthy foreign and eastern investors who turned their sights towards Riverside where the perfect combination of sun, soil, and water turned the opportunity of citrus growing into a multimillion-dollar industry. Twenty-five years after Riversides founding, millions of dollars of investments had transformed the small agricultural outpost into the wealthiest city per capita in the nation. The citys Orange Barons invested their money by building stately Victorian mansions and imposing brick commercial buildings. Others lured additional investors by creating parks with tropical plant gardens, formal avenues landscaped with rare and beautiful trees, and a carefully designed downtown area with beautiful churches, hotels, and civic buildings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Riverside County, California: With Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the County Who Have Been Identified With Its Growth and Development From the Early Days to the Present That animal life existed here long before the mountain's up heaval the discoveries of the scientists is convincing proof, for the fossil remains so plentifully found indicate that even further back in the far distant past, When, perhaps, our mountains hardly showed above the level of the sea, the climate must have been humid and tropical in character, and many monstrous creatures, no longer liv ing upon the earth, ranged amid a very jungle of vegetable growth, which, deeply buried for millions of years may have created the im mense deposits of oil now being utilized by man as a source of wealth. Even Within the limits of the city of Riverside the bones of some of these prehistoric animals have been discovered.

Download or read book Notes on Early History of Riverside, California written by James H. Roe and published by . This book was released on 1932 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Roe's notes, which include a (separate) history of water in the Riverside valley and a thorough index, cover the history of Riverside from the purchase of land by the colony founders in 1870 to the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the city in 1885. The three subjects most heavily addressed are the development of area water systems, the development of the citrus fruit industry, and local marriages, although the notes touch on everything from encounters with American Indians to the wingspan of a stray pelican at the park. Prominent figures in the document include John W. North, Matthew Gage, and Frank Miller; Virgil Earp makes an appearance in a confrontation between railroads. Roe intended the manuscript for publication, and two readers added notes to the piece before it was typed. The document is a typescript copy of the original, which is held by the Riverside Public Library.

Download or read book The House on Lemon Street written by Mark Rawitsch and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1915, Jukichi and Ken Harada purchased a house on Lemon Street in Riverside, California. Close to their restaurant, church, and children’s school, the house should have been a safe and healthy family home. Before the purchase, white neighbors objected because of the Haradas’ Japanese ancestry, and the California Alien Land Law denied them real-estate ownership because they were not citizens. To bypass the law Mr. Harada bought the house in the names of his three youngest children, who were American-born citizens. Neighbors protested again, and the first Japanese American court test of the California Alien Land Law of 1913—The People of the State of California v. Jukichi Harada—was the result. Bringing this little-known story to light, The House on Lemon Street details the Haradas’ decision to fight for the American dream. Chronicling their experiences from their immigration to the United States through their legal battle over their home, their incarceration during World War II, and their lives after the war, this book tells the story of the family’s participation in the struggle for human and civil rights, social justice, property and legal rights, and fair treatment of immigrants in the United States. The Harada family’s quest for acceptance illuminates the deep underpinnings of anti-Asian animus, which set the stage for Executive Order 9066, and recognizes fundamental elements of our nation’s anti-immigrant history that continue to shape the American story. It will be worthwhile for anyone interested in the Japanese American experience in the twentieth century, immigration history, public history, and law.
