Loved this book. It takes you back to before urban sprawl, when there were still orange groves in the area. It's quite a shock when you compare the author's So. California to what it is today. ( )

A fantastic history of southern California, detailing the cultural changes, the boom cycle, the geography and climate, and other various elements of southern California from its discovery by Spaniards until 1946.

Worth the read to understand many of the reasons why things are the way they are there. ( )

One for the heart: For all residents of Southern California past, present, or potential, there can be no better book about this unmatchable part of the world. Past residents (like myself) will sigh with fond remembrance, current residents will be amused, and potential future residents will be astonished. All will be entertained. The land, the geography, the history, and the weather. They're all discussed. The social outcasts, the wierd misfits, the kooks, the characters, and their schemes and dreams. It's all here, along with so very much more. Written by a longtime resident in a very entertaining style that combines dinner conversation with classroom lecture, this book will be a joy to anyone who has a love for the irreplacable experience of Living In Southern California. You will truly FEEL as though you are there. This book is one for the heart as well as the mind. Oh Los Angeles, how I miss you. Carey McWilliams, thanks for taking me back.

When Spanish explorers sailed upon California they thought it a golden island. Now Carey McWilliams, who has explored Southern California in a new, delightful way, shows that it really is an island on the land, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and by the great desert lying behind the tall arch of mountains.

If years before I wrote Southern California: An Island on the Land, I had planned to write it, then it could be said that I picked exactly the right time to settle in the region, that my work experience was providential, and that I selected precisely the right group of friends. (Introduction)
Since this volume does not follow the well-worn path of most books about Southern California, a word or two of explanation, by way of charting its course, may be helpful. (Foreward)
Realistic observers of their northern province, the Spaniards always spoke of "The Californias" -- Baja California and Alta California; Lower and Upper California; New California and Old California.  (Chapter I, South of Tehachapi)
