Here you'll meet the Reverend T.J. Johnson who was run out of town under threat of being tarred and feathered for slandering the young women of the day. You'll eavesdrop on Mrs. Miller as she and an inordinately vocal parrot crew Fresno's first telephone switchboard. And, you'll join in the throngs of thousands who crowd the streets July 4, 1917 to celebrate American Freedom. And, if you are particularly reflective as you read, you'll be reminded that today is tomorrow's history and that today and tomorrow each of us is helping to form the future legends and legacies of our extraordinary Valley. |
