About This Item
Berkeley, California:: Ten Speed Press, 2000.. 1st Printing.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: olive green boards; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. about 9.75 inches tall by 7.75 inches wide . Index. Photo endpapers. Description: Several black and white illustrations. From the first Spanish ships to touch California's shores to the rise of a thriving industry with hundreds of olive growers, canners, and oil makers, this traces the path of this sturdy, life-giving tree as it developed into a California agricultural phenomenon. The olive was one of California's first significant crops, drawing interest from nurserymen and farmers across the state. From San Diego -- the location of the Spanish missionaries' first harvest of California olives -- to Corning -- the self-proclaimed olive capital -- the olive became a signature California crop. This brings all the history together for the first time. Meticulously researched, this is a timely tribute to the California olive.
