“Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.”
From the ancient villages of the Tongva beneath the tar pits to the neon dreams of Hollywood’s golden age, Los Angeles has always been America’s ultimate reinvention machine.
This gripping narrative history traces the city’s astonishing journey:
• Chapter 1 – The Tongva: The original inhabitants who called the land Yang-na
• Chapter 2 – Early Exploration: When Europe finally noticed the Pacific paradise
• Chapter 3 – Spanish Conquest: Don Gaspar de Portolá plants the first foreign flag in 1769
• Chapter 4 – Pobladores: 44 settlers of indigenous, African, and Spanish descent found El Pueblo in 1781
• Chapter 5 – Mexican Takeover: Ranchos, revolutions, and the bear flag
• Chapter 6 – American Transition: Gold, guns, and the wild birth of the “bright and guilty place”
• Chapter 7 – Hollywood and Beyond: How a sleepy suburb became the world’s dream factory

Jack Kerouac called LA “a jungle.” Phil Ochs saw it as “the final chapter of Western Man.” This book proves them both right—and shows how the City of Angels continues to write tomorrow’s story today.
