Synopsis
Absco , a Southern Pacific station, was coined in the 1920s from the name of the American Beet Sugar Company, which had a factory in Oxnard. Pochea is an Indian village site in Riverside County, said to mean "where the rabbit went in." Siskiyou was the Chinook word for 'bobtailed horse, ' originally taken over from the Cree language. From Abadi Creek to Zzyzyx Spring, thousands of discoveries await the reader of California Place Names . This is the fourth edition, extensively revised and expanded, of a classic work of Californiana. The curious traveler or resident, as well as the serious student, will find a wealth of description and history in these names, as rich and various as the California landscape itself. Like its predecessors, this edition concentrates on the origins of the names currently used for the cities, towns, settlements, mountains, and streams of California, with engrossing accounts of the history of their usage. It has been updated to incorporate the latest research on California place names published by regional historians and to include new names that have been added to the California map since 1969. Readers will appreciate the local pronunciation of place names with unusual spellings; anyone curious about how to say La Jolla or Weitchpec can find the information here, in phonetic transcriptions. Finally, the many California place names of American Indian origin--such as Yreka, Shasta, Napa, Sonoma, Tamalpais, Yosemite, Lompoc, Mugu, Coachella, or Poway--receive particular attention from editor William Bright. The dictionary includes a Glossary and a Bibliography., Absco , a Southern Pacific station, was coined in the 1920s from the name of the American Beet Sugar Company, which had a factory in Oxnard.

- i***n (629)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI was impressed with the quality of the item, the interaction between the Seller and I, and also the attention to detail in the description and packaging. The Seller even combined shipping for me and did this readily. I would definitely deal with this reputable Seller.
- p***m (36)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI have shipped MANY books sold by the Sacramento Book Den's store on eBay. We carefully pack books to ensure they arrive in the same condition as when purchased. The plastic wrap used by this seller provided minimal protection to the book's edges, spine and cover. Also, the wrap was difficult to remove without damaging the book. But to be clear we are happy with our purchase and would use this seller again. Cheers.
