This comprehensive history of the San Joaquin Valley begins with a
study of the indigenous Native American tribes of the area and
their interactions with one another. It then explores the
occupation by the Spanish, the trapping industry, the arrival of
settlers from the eastern United States, and the formation of
expansive cattle ranches. The development of agriculture and
irrigation and the subsequent battles over land and water rights
are addressed. Also discussed is the grand era of the railroad,
which would forever change the valley, bringing light industry and
modern agricultural practices.
