What made Los Angeles a great city? From whence come the forces and the nourishment to transform it from wilderness to metropolis? In the mold of History, this was no ordinary fashioning. This was slumber metamorphosed into catapulting activity. This was a siesta gone wild. In these pages there emerges the image of the miracle that transpired. From the chronicle step forth the causes and the men bringing it about. No other city has such a story. Never has the story of this one been told in this manner.
