Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. Second Edition. An uncommon example of boosterism from California's Central Valley in the late nineteenth century. The book, published by Sacramento's leading newspaper, extols the virtues of Sacramento County agriculture, manufacturing, and other businesses and is illustrated with something like 1000 halftone photographs (often several to a page) of large houses, commercial buildings, and leading men (almost all of the portraits are of men) in the region.

S. Crocker Co.), 139?155, 155a, 156?164, 164a, 165?173, 173a, 174, 174a, 175?201, [202: blank].

Still, for a fragile publication, it is well preserved; the map with a one inch tear where it is tipped-in to the book. Uncommon.…
