Kings County is slowly becoming modern, as California's urban areas
continue to expand into rural and formerly agricultural land. Still the
open skies here look down upon copious amounts of historical
significance. From the dwellings of the early Yokut people, ferries
across the Kings River, the arrival of the railroad, and the subsequent
Mussell Slough tragedy to the expansion of Highway 198, modernist
buildings in Hanford, and the military presence at Lemoore, Kings County
boasts compelling stories and a diverse group of people and places. In
this engaging retrospective, readers will enjoy fantastic images of a
Kings County that some say no longer exists.
