520 2 |a "Often referred to as 'the Big Tomato,' Sacramento is a city whose makeup is significantly more complex than its agriculture-based sobriquet implies. In River City and Valley Life, the contributors reveal the major transformations to the natural and built environment that have shaped Sacramento and its suburbs, residents, politics, and economics throughout its history. As blighted areas, rail yards, and riverfronts have been reclaimed, and parks and green spaces created and expanded, Sacramento's identity continues to evolve. Moving beyond its gold rush, transcontinental railroad, and government-town heritage, Sacramento remains a city and region deeply rooted in its natural environment"--  |c Provided by publisher.
