“I have reviewed dozens of local history books from around the country in the
last decade, but I have found none done better than this book. It is local
history, but it is really about American social and cultural history and that
makes good reading no matter where you live. He has created a book that even
those who do not live near Elk Grove will enjoy reading. The book is a
treasure chest of information. It is well written and the old photos really
capture a Norman Rockwell-like kind of past. I enjoyed it greatly and I know
others will, as well. I give this book five stars.”
“I reviewed other local history books this year, but (‘Echoes of Yesterday: Elk
Grove’) certainly proved to be in a league of its own.”
"A very thorough and carefully researched book on the history of Elk Grove.
Done with such passion, it makes you want to take the time to walk through
Old Town and look again at the buildings. Written so well that it can be
enjoyed not only by the avid historian, but the casual reader as well."
