Description

An emblem of peace, strength, and nourishment, the olive tree has been imbued with a way of history, place, and grace since its earliest cultivation within the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. From the primary Spanish ships to the touch California’s shores to the upward push of a thriving industry with hundreds of olive growers and oil makers, THE OLIVE IN CALIFORNIA traces the trail of this robust, life-giving tree because 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.
