edition Malolm Margolin, founder Heyday Books Combining the research skills of a careful
historian with the flair of a yarn-spinner, Richard Schwartz brings
early Berkeley alive with such vibrancy and immediacy that you might
imagine he had witnessed it first-hand. What an informative, engaging,
ultimately thought- provoking exploration of our Berkeley roots! David Crosson,
Executive Director, California Historical Society All modesty aside, we common sort can be pretty
fascinating. If you want proof of this simple truth, all you have to do
is pick up Richard Schwartz's collection of stories on Berkeley... In
this small book of stories
on a single community, Schwartz touches all of the abstract themes that
you will find in grand histories: class struggle, ethnic conflicts,
economic greed, and political intrigue.
Harlan Kessel,
Alameda Historical Society
Treat yourself to what is probably the most
enjoyable California historical joyride of the decade.
