About this product

Product Information

"This brief, very readable, and important book calls attention to a subject too long neglected-the bifurcation of life in Los Angeles during the Civil War years." Thomas F. Andrews Research Historian for Special Collections, Asuza Pacific University Most accounts of California's role in the Civil War focus on the northern part of the state, San Francisco in particular. In Los Angeles in Civil War Days, John W. Robinson looks to the southern half and offers an enlightening sketch of Los Angeles and its people, politics, and economic trends from 1860 to 1865. Drawing on contemporary reports in the Los Angeles Star, Southern News, and other sources, Robinson shows how the war came to Los Angeles and narrates the struggle between the pro-Southern faction and the Unionists. Los Angeles in the early 1860s was a developing town, lacking many of the refinements of civilization that San Francisco then enjoyed, and was much smaller than the bustling metropolis we know today. The book focuses on the effects of the war on Los Angeles, but Robinson also considers social and economic problems to provide a broader view of the community and its place in the nation. The Conscription Act and devalued greenbacks encited public unrest, and the cattle-killing drought of 1862-64, a smallpox epidemic, and recurrent vigilantism challenged Angelenos as well. California historians and those interested in the city's historical record will find this book a fascinating addition to the body of California's Civil War history. John W. Robinson, a retired teacher and historian, is the author of numerous books and articles on California history. He was awarded a Fellows Medallion by the Historical Society of Southern California.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Your Los Angeles

    Well written and competently researched. There was a lot going on in Los Angeles then that seems to be repeating itself now, to some extent. I learned much from reading this interesting book.
