Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Cawston courted the early-20th-century publics fascination with exotic foreign creatures when he began raising ostriches, for more than the use of their feathers in the clothing industry. When Cawston brought the enormous, flightless, African birds onto prime real estate in the Arroyo Seco of South Pasadena, Los Angeles County, more than a few observers thought that the looniest bird might be him. But Cawston was determined to showcase struthio camelus, the biggest bird in the world at 8 vertical feet and 350 pounds. The Cawston Ostrich Farm soon became one of the most popular Southern California attractions, drawing millions to watch people ride the birds bareback at a cruising speed of 35 miles per hour. Cawston supplied ostrich plumes for budget-minded consumers as well as fancy feathers for Vaudeville dancers, movie actresses, and even European queens, becoming a great promoter and showman of his time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small collection of early 20th-century advertising ephemera for the Cawston Ostrich Farm in South Pasadena, California, the first ostrich farm in the United States, opened by Edwin Cawston in 1886. Included are three advertising cards describing the new industry of ostrich feathers and plumes that has arisen from the breeding of ostriches at the farm. Two of the cards are illustrated with photographic reproductions of a man and a boy riding an ostrich; the third features a photo of one of the ostriches "Fighting Bob Evans." The electric cards brought customers and tourists to the farm every day from Los Angeles and Pasadena. An early postcard or "Private Mailing Card" shows a young boy feeding the ostriches at the farm. A three-panel brochure for the farm from around 1922 advertises "the original ostrich farm of America," with "gigantic birds in their native haunts." The brochure, printed in orange and black, and illustrated with numerous photographs of the farm grounds and animals, describes the process "from egg to plume" of breeding, hatching, maturing of chicks, clipping of plumage, and manufacturing of plumes, fans, boas, ostrich bags, and ostrich-trimmed hats. Visitors could buy excursion tickets at the Pacific Electric Railway ticket office in Los Angeles for 38 cents round trip including admission. A "Souvenir of Cawston Ostrich Farm" ("Made by Curt Teich & Co., Chicago, Ill.") dating from around 1910 presents a color-illustrated portfolio containing an 8-panel accordion fold-out of 16 color photographic reproductions of ostrich eggs and chicks, feeding time, plucking the feathers, feather creations, exhibit room and factory, drying and dyeing the plumes, and feeding oranges to the ostriches. Finally, a 15-page Cawston trade catalog from around 1914, entitled "The beauty of a Cawston ostrich plume," supplies images, descriptions, and prices for different types of plumes, order blanks for new goods and repair work as well as scenes from the farm.

Book excerpt: South Pasadena is a small city among giants, sandwiched between the great metropolis of Los Angeles and its nationally famous namesake neighbor, Pasadena. Described as a modernday Mayberry and a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, South Pasadena thoroughly represents the very idea of "Main Street America." The city's 40year fight against the I710 Freeway extension is legendary in suburban efforts to maintain cultural identity. "South Pas," as residents know it, was named five times on the National Historic Register's top10 list of "Most Endangered Places." The city's resistance to outside forces threatening to erode the rich heritage captured in these evocative images has made this "little guy" municipality a giant in the historicpreservation battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snapshots and Short Notes examines the photographic postcards exchanged during the first half of the twentieth century as illustrated, first-hand accounts of American life. Almost immediately after the introduction of the generic postcard at the turn of the century, innovations in small, accessible cameras added black and white photographs to the cards. The resulting combination of image and text emerged as a communication device tantamount to social media today. Postcard messages and photographs tell the stories of ordinary lives during a time of far-reaching technological, demographic, and social changes: a family’s new combine harvester that could cut 40 acres a day; a young woman trying to find work in a man’s world; the sight of an airplane in flight. However, postcards also chronicled and shared hardship and tragedy––the glaring reality of homesteading on the High Plains, natural disasters, preparations for war, and the struggles for racial and gender equality. With a meticulous eye for detail, painstaking research, and astute commentary, Wilson surveys more than 160 photographic postcards, reproduced in full color, that provide insights into every aspect of life in a time not far removed from our own.
