Více o knize
The narrative explores the transformation of the Oakland hills, once traversed by the Huchiun people, into a developed suburban landscape. Following the 1829 land grant to Mexican soldier Luis Maria Peralta, settlers began to exploit the area's natural resources, leading to significant changes. The hills, previously a retreat for poet Joaquin Miller, became targets for developers as transportation improved. Despite the devastation of the 1991 firestorm, the hills now embody a serene beauty, serving as a picturesque backdrop for the city of Oakland.
