More than 200 vintage color postcards provide a unique perspective on
the storied past of Fresno County. Postcards dating from as early as
1875 through the 1960s, many of which have never before been publicly
available, are paired with brief passages that deftly position each card
within its historical context. Many famous Fresno edifices which have
long disappeared are revived again, including the El Rancho motel, the
Carnegie Library, and the Pine Lake Lodge. Educational and inspiring,
this exceptional compilation is a treasure trove for the regional
history buff.
