About
The book was compiled from editorials written in 2000 and 2001, to coincide with the celebration of the Centennial, 1907-2007. It is an elegant local history book in English with some phrases in Spanish, immediately followed by the English translation. It includes photos and historical background of the growth and development of the city. You get a sense of life among los de abajo, those at the bottom of the economic latter, the very poor in the barrio.
This is a limited edition. No other reprints are envisioned. A large number of families will be deprived of owning a copy if the current rate of demand continues.
