New Book on Violence in Frontier Los Angeles Coming in January

John Mack Faragher, an award-winning historian and professor of history at Yale University, is the author of a new book, coming in January 2016, called Eternity Street: Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles.

Published by W.W. Norton and Company, the book deals with the same general theme as Trembling on the Brink.  The book, which will be 624 pages, is getting impressive testimonials from such notable Los Angeles-area historians as William Deverell of U.S.C. and U.C.L.A.'s Stephen Aron.

Faragher's work, including a Los Angeles Times Book Prize for his treatment of Daniel Boone, is very highly regarded and there is every reason to expect that his newest work will be one of great interest to anyone interested in the history of Los Angeles and its notorious criminal history during the mid-19th century.

So, congratulations to him for his latest endeavor.
