A symbol of peace; strength; and nourishment; the olive tree has been imbued with a sense of history; place; and charm since its earliest cultivation in the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. From the first Spanish ships to touch California's shores to the rise of a thriving industry with hundreds of olive growers and oil makers; THE OLIVE IN CALIFORNIA traces the path of this sturdy; life-giving tree as it developed into a California agricultural phenomenon. With a foreword by Dr. Kevin Starr; State Librarian of California; Dr. Taylor's book is endorsed by the California Historical Society.

There is nothing of value or interest in this little compact "book". Honestly; I was annoyed that I bought it and wasted the money. I didn't like content; editing; or presentation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy Phoenix StarrInteresting...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
