From the beginning Young had misgivings about the colony. Particularly perplexing was the mix of atypical Latter-day Saints who gravitated there. Among these were ex-slave holders; inter-racial polygamists; horse-race gamblers; distillery proprietors; former mountain men, prospectors, and mercenaries; disgruntled Polynesian immigrants; and finally Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, the colony's leader, who became involved in spiritualist seances.

Strategically located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, San Bernardino was colonized in 1851 as an expansion outpost for the Mormon Church. Today, it is the county seat for the largest county in the United States. Captured here in over 200 vintage photographs is the history of this Southern California city and its role in the state's development for more than two centuries. Many famous, as well as infamous, faces have passed through the area, contributing to the rich history of the region, including Kit Carson, Wyatt Earp, President Lyndon Johnson, and early explorer Jedediah Smith. Featuring images from the San Bernardino Historical Society, this book brings readers back in time to the city's earliest development, from early Native American settlements, through the Mission period, the Mexican Rancho era, the arrival of Mormon families, the impact of the railroads, and up to the challenges of the 20th century.

William Adams Vale was one of the earliest photographers in Southern California. While residing in San Bernardino, Vale traveled throughout the region and along the stagecoach routes to Los Angeles and San Diego. He was active from circa 1870 to the late 1880s working in many formats: stereoview, carte de visite and large-size images. Most of Vale's images are very rare, known by just a single example in private and institutional collections. Although his surviving output is small ... just a few dozen images ... his subject matter and content is extremely interesting. Vale photographed engine no. 1 of the California Southern Railroad, schools (front cover), mining and lumber operations, vineyard and the olive orchard of Thomas Davies on the San Diego mission grounds, Indians on the courthouse steps in San Bernardino, the Cucamonga stagecoach stop, Chinese labor, resorts, ranch houses and more.Forty-six fascinating historical photographs are illustrated in this 40-page book, a number full-page. Each is believed to be published for the first time. There are 8 stereoviews reproduced (7 full-size) that can be seen in three-dimensions with a viewer (not included). Full-page enlargements of some stereoviews are provided to see detail.The informative text includes biographical information and rare portraits of Vale and his family. It also discusses the era of early photography as reflected in Vale's career.
