The State of Jefferson, California

Then and Now

by Bernita L. Tickner, Gail Fiorini-Jenner

As early as 1852, the hardy settlers of the self -proclaimed State of Jefferson began to rally against the California and Oregon governments. The autonomous and determined spirit of border-county residents perseveres today, and nowhere is this better evidenced than in the character of the communities that remain.

I think maybe it's my eyes, but for a middle-aged guy the pictures were pretty hard to see. Many were lower-quality in a book that is all about the pictures. Captions were ok. Wasn't always clear which picture was before and after. I liked the subject and learned some stuff though.

4 for the captions, 3 for the photos. Rounded down because it's a photo book. Still worth it if you're interested in that part of the world.
