VICTORIAN L.A. 

Victorian L.A. explores the relationship between Los Angeles's nineteenth-century neighborhoods and the rail network that served them. Horse cars, cable cars, and electric cars--our city's early transportation companies--were highly competitive and when unified became the nation's most extensive system. When the trolly cars were illegally removed, the Victorian neighborhoods soon after disappeared.

Michael Jacob Rochlin is the author of eight books including the well-received Ancient L.A.
