History of Highland Park…

Here we have The Annual Report of the Los Angeles County Pioneers from 1914 (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/11/520672.pdf).  The report runs to 47 pages and includes a roster of members that includes names, addresses, occupations, dates of residence in the state and the county.  Includes advertisements.  One article I found interesting compared the current cost of items (in 1914) to their cost in 1849 (gold rush days). The 1914 prices were much less though our current prices beat both those years hands down.

Take a look.
