Palos Verdes Peninsula

Time and the Terraced Land

by Augusta Fink

Separated by a towering ridge from the teeming city of Los Angeles, the Palos Verdes Peninsula remains mantled in an aura of tranquillity, its proud heritage preserved by the life-style of its communities.

Readers of this historical treasure are transported to the times of the Native Americans, the days of the Dons, through the mission era and to the coming of the American occupation.

The cover depicts the historic Portuguese Bend Whaling Station,
a painting by Raymond E. Wallace.
