Book Review: A History of Orange County
Roll back the clock in black & white: Pictured is Disneyland entrance sign with the marquee listing a concert by Count Basie (died in 1984); and Huntington Beach’s 8.5 miles of beaches lined with oil derricks that clogged the landscape with smoke, goo, and rich, black crude that routinely collected on the clothes of swimmers and sunbathers.
