Glenn Dumke explores the rapid economic and social growth that transformed the region during the 1880s. Dumke delves into the factors that fueled this boom, including the expansion of the railroad, a real estate frenzy, and the influx of settlers drawn by the promise of prosperity and a favorable climate. The book details how these developments led to significant urbanization and reshaped Southern California's landscape, as small towns grew into bustling cities. Dumke's analysis also highlights the consequences of such unchecked growth, noting the volatility of the land market and the eventual bust that followed, leaving behind a complex legacy of development in the region.
