Costco to Host Book Signing for NAPA Authors

Local Authors will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
 
FAIRFIELD, Calif. - Nov. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- The name “Napa” may come from “Napato,” a clan of the Wintun Indians who once lived along a river that flows into San Francisco Bay. In the 1850s, miners sought refuge in the young city that grew up by the Napa River, living in tents along its main street. Later they and other newcomers found work at businesses and nearby ranches while Napa City flourished.

Napa continued to flourish and now benefits from the allure of the premier wine-growing region. Napa, a new release from Arcadia Publishing’s celebrated Images of America series, relates the story of a city’s beginning and examines the changes that have taken place throughout its history.

Highlights of Napa include :

Over 200 stunning vintage images…some never before seen
A unique glimpse of Berryessa Valley from its earliest days, before the Monticello dam
Entertaining, informative captions
