Written at her sister's request to pass on the memories to their grandchildren, the preface states, "Although written for a specific set of great-grandchildren, this story also addresses itself to those others like-wise descended from a ranch background with a horse culture heritage."

Evolving from a 27,000-acre rancho, to a colony of farmers, and then to a neighborhood subdivision, Long Beachs Los Cerritos is the story of a fiercely independent community established prior to William Willmores vision of a city of Long Beach took hold. Life centered around the historic Rancho Los Cerritos throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries as John Temples cattle ranching was replaced by Jotham Bixbys sheep ranching and tenant farming operations. Jotham Bixby sold off land for small farms to create the Cerritos Colony, and further subdivided land to create the Los Cerritos neighborhood. Invaded by oil drilling rigs after the discovery of oil in nearby Signal Hill, fires and noise caused the residents to flee. Los Cerritos declined but rebounded in the 1930s, aided by the presence of the Virginia County Club, stately homes designed by world-renowned architects, and the restoration of the historic rancho adobe by the Bixby family.

The last daughter born to Jotham Bixby, the "Father of Long Beach," Fanny Bixby Spencer (1879-1930) carved her own singular and eccentric path across California history. Born to wealth and power, she chose a boldly independent, egalitarian lifestyle in an age when women's lives were largely confined to domesticity. Fanny served with the Long Beach Police Department as America's first policewoman. She was a founder of the city of Costa Mesa in Orange County. Her humanitarian efforts reached across ethnicities and social standing. Yet beyond her civic accomplishments, Fanny was provocative as a poet, artist, pacifist, suffragist, child advocate, foster mother and humanitarian. Marcia Lee Harris captures this fascinating woman's remarkable life, enhanced by Fanny's own poetry and soulful reflections.

Architecture critic Hess and photographer Weintraub portray the ranch-style house and the definitive home of the American West. They show a range of styles from around the West over the past 150 years, revealing the evolution from the simple, functional architecture of the 19th century to the opulent, vivid style that is popular today. Beginning with a look at real ranches, they show the country estates of the Western wealthy, the homes of media cowboys, and contemporary suburban examples.
