A favorite of mine is "California Orange Box Labels" by McClelland and Last. Gerald McClelland has done a number of good books on the subject (and you really can't go too far wrong with any book with his name on it), but this is my first pick.<br /><br />There's been a strange lack of books about the history of the citrus industry in Orange County until very recently. But now Dick Barker and his Citrus Roots Foundation have given us the strangely titled, "Citrus Powered the Economy of Orange County for Over A Half Century Induced By A Romance: A Illustrated, Compelling History." See www.citrusroots.com for details. It's a very handy reference and includes some great images.<br /><br />@Connie: Glad you ended up here! All of us Southern Californians are - by ancestry - from somewhere else. Even the Tongva and Acjachemen moved here after earlier tribes vanished. (Although it's hard to argue that a couple thousand years of residency doesn't make them the REAL "pioneer" families.)Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-2848084854518399762010-11-20T21:57:16.617-08:002010-11-20T21:57:16.617-08:00I am fascinated by the food history of Orange Coun...I am fascinated by the food history of Orange County. I loved the picture of the orange cases.

She grew up, married my dad and then they moved to California during the Depression. Who knows where I might have been born if not for history!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.com
