Product description...

A Fresh and Updated History of Palm Springs

This second edition is practically a new book. It is much longer and more detailed than the original. This is especially true of the key chapter on the so-called Section 14 “urban holocaust”of the Sixties, when minorities were evicted from the heart of Palm Springs with no place to go. Because of the recent publication of revelatory new documents, a fuller story of this tragic episode in the city’s history can now be told. Material has been rearranged throughout this new volume, with greater respect for chronology. Two new chapters on Palm Springs in the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression have been added, and the biographies of leading Palm Springs personalities such as Nellie Coffman, Lois Kellogg, and Pearl McCallum McManus have been greatly expanded. The critical approach of the first edition has been maintained, and various errors have been corrected.
