What it is a collection of captioned historical photographs--which may be fine for local citizens of Arcata and its associated history buffs, but for anyone else, the photos lack context. I myself will be visiting the area soon and was hoping the book would give me an outline of its history and background, but I'll have to look elsewhere for that. Once I visit Arcata, I may find the book more relevant as I will then be able to use it to make a "then vs. now" visual comparison. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Arcata, a bright jewel surrounded by the redwood forested hills of northern Humboldt Bay, was once the territory of the Wiyot Indians. The tribe only barely survived massacres and relocation after a town was founded there in 1850, a supply point for gold seekers at nearby mines. That town soon evolved into a center for a thriving lumber industry that fed sawmills and a barrel factory, and dairies that prospered on the pastoral Arcata Bottom. Home to Humboldt State University and the much loved Humboldt Crabs baseball team, Arcata is attracting new businesses, industries, and national attention for its innovative Arcata Marsh public works project.
