However, the full story of Orange County is far more complex. It’s a story of conquistadors, wildcatters, farmers, veterans of great wars, builders, artists, and filmmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a selection of fine historic images from her best-selling book \u003cem\u003eHistoric Photos of Orange County,\u003c\/em\u003e Leslie Anne Stone provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of Orange County. \u003cem\u003eRemembering Orange County\u003c\/em\u003e offers more than 125 images drawn from the county’s fascinating past, from the mission ruins of San Juan Capistrano, to the turn-of-the-century celery fields of Westminster, to the eye-popping fantasia of a young Disneyland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy East Coast standards, Orange County is an infant—just over a century old—and tiny compared with most California counties; but its population is second only to neighboring Los Angeles County and growing every day.
