Autorenporträt
In this new volume, Elizabeth Pinkerton illustrates the story of this unique city in vintage images--from the Miwok Indians to the early pioneers, from the gold seekers to the farmers who changed fields of wildflowers into fields of wheat. Today's Elk Grove continues to grow and prosper, and this engaging retrospective takes readers from the past to the present as it portrays the foundation of Elk Grove's future.
