PREFACE
These volumes represent the fulfillment of the purposes expressed in the prospectus issued at the time the enterprise was proposed. The statement made then was as follows :
"The history of the City of Los Angeles, and, up to comparatively recent times, of the surrounding territory, is the work of California's gifted historian and author, John Steven McGroarty. Beyond this brief statement nothing need be said since his name is the first authority on this subject suggested by popular and critical opinion.
"Under an editorial board the modern interests and history of the county outside the city will be developed, with special attention to commu- nities represented by Long Beach, Pasadena, Pomona, Alhambra, Whittier, Glendora, Monterey Park, Glendale, Burbank, Monrovia, Redondo Beach, San Fernando, San Gabriel, Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Ingle- wood, Van Nuys and Azusa."
The names of this board of Advisory Editors, of whose direct assist- ance acknowledgment is hereby made, were as follows:
P. E. Hatch, Long Beach.
James A. B. Scherer, A. M., Ph. D., LL. D., Pasadena.
Elmira T. Stephens, Santa Monica.
H. J. Nichols, Pomona.
William M. Northrup, Alhambra.
Madison T. Owens, Whittier. Isabella G. (Mrs. J. C.) Maclay, San Fernando. William A. Chess, Monrovia.
Under these auspices and with the assistance of others interested, the publication represents a faithful effort to fulfill the plans contemplated in the beginning.
