Lauren Coodley Poradie kníh

Lauren Coodley sa etablovala ako historička so zameraním na Kaliforniu a jej rozmanitých obyvateľov. Jej práca sa často ponára do menej známych príbehov a skúma, ako sociálne a kultúrne sily formovali americké mestá a ich obyvateľov. Prostredníctvom starostlivého výskumu a prístupných naratívov odhaľuje zložité vrstvy histórie a prináša hlasy zanedbávaných komunít.

Napa Valley, once known for its cattle and silver mines, has grown into an international wine destination. On the way, many buildings and institutions have vanished. From the Von Uhlit family's fruit farm in Napa to the Wheeler Ranch in St. Helena, fields and orchards became neighborhoods and vineyards. The Dolphin, a steamboat that once delivered travelers from San Francisco, was replaced by faster transport, and the Napa State Hospital's original "castle" was demolished. The Sawyer Tannery, in operation for over one hundred years, closed its doors in 1990, and destinations like the Kay Von Drive-In and the Bel Aire Bowl now live on only in memory. Join author and historian Lauren Coodley as she celebrates these once-beloved landmarks in California's Wine Country.
