About the Author

Kenneth M. Holtzclaw (coauthor of the Images of America volumes San Gorgonio Pass and Encinitas and author of Images of America: Banning and Images of Sports: Del Mar Racetrack) and Mayor Jeff Fox of Beaumont have put together a collection of vintage photographs creating an evocative window into Beaumont's storied past. Images were obtained from local citizens and public archives, as well as the author's own private collections.
