About This Item
Chicago: Arcadia, 2002. First Edition. Paperback. In exceptionally good condition. Octavo, [20.5cm/8.5inches], paperbound with pictorial covers, pp. 128. Fully Illustrated with b-w halftones, &ct. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... Pacific Beach was developed during the boom years of 1886-1888 by D. C. Reed, A. G. Gassen, Charles W. Pauley, R. A. Thomas, and O. S. Hubbell. It was Hubbell who "cleared away the grainfields, pitched a tent, mapped out the lots, hired an auctioneer and started to work". To attract people, they built a race track and the San Diego College of Letters, neither of which survive today. A railway also connected Pacific Beach with downtown San Diego, and was later extended to La Jolla.
