Introduction -- Prehistory to the Gold Rush -- Gold, nature, and city building -- A maturing city -- Retooling for modern times -- The New Deal and the War -- The emergence of a metropolis -- Urban renaissance.;Born of a countrys collective desire for riches, Sacramento was resolute in its survival while other Gold Rush towns faded into history. It battled catastrophic fires, floods, and epidemics to become the original western hub and laid claim to the capital of a state that would one day have the worlds fifth largest economy. The communitys flourishing growth is not just a product of its economic viability, but a direct result of the cultural vibrance and fortitude of a diverse populace that remains the backbone of our countrys most dynamic state.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am deeply indebted to the authors whose works I have used in putting together this history of Sacramento. Their work is found on every page. Any error is my own. Special thanks go to James Henley, Joseph Pitti, Mead Kibbey, and William Mahan, who read the text and scanned it for errors of omission and commission. My dear, patient friend, Susan Silva, read the various drafts and took time off work to help me with picture selection. I am grateful to Ruth Ellis and her staff at the Sacramento Room at the City Library for their excellent resources and service. Likewise, Gary Kurutz and the staff of the California Room of the State Library have also provided a rich array of resources. A brief stint as an adjunct at California State University Sacramento allowed me to sample a variety of masters theses and student papers related to Sacramento topics. The staff at Arcadia Publishing, especially editors Jim Kempert, Rob Kangas, and Barbie Langston, have been marvelous. My deepest thanks go to James Henley, Pat Johnson, and the entire family of researchers, volunteers, and scholars that gather at the Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center (SAMCC). For years these archivists, curators, and historians have been my colleagues and friends as I have pursued any number of Sacramento themes. I could not begin to reciprocate all the favors they have done for me. To Jim Henley and the SAMCC staff and volunteers do I gratefully dedicate this book.

Associate Professor of History, Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
