Crise & Patris. The Pacific Electric Railway originally provided reliable transportation across more than 1,000 miles of track. Postwar society's love affair with the automobile led to the loss of most of this infrastructure. This heavily illustrated volume shows side-by-side views of the same scenes photographed in the early to mid-1900s and again today - highlighting the drastic changes to the landscape, architecture and property usage over the last century. 96 pages, 160 B&W photographs, 9¼" x 6½", softcover.
