More than Orchards: Mountain View in Gilded Age America 1880-1920
This richly illustrated talk, Sunday, November 2, in the Community Room of the Mountain View Public Library, presents Mountain View as a mirror reflecting some of the larger transformations during a crucial period in the development of California and the nation. Placed in this context, the story of Mountain View’ s growth, especially its business and agricultural
development, sheds important light on topics including technological innovation, railroads, immigration, political reform, and leisure. Mountain View contributed significantly to the growth of the state as well as the nation through its specialty crops, and to the empowerment of women through its clubs and suffrage campaigns.
