Title: California Was Built
Author: Esther Maddux Tennent
Description: The story of the Maddux family, San Joaquin Valley, California pioneers, written by Esther Maddux Tennent (1884-1979). The author's grandfather, John Parker Maddux, came to California by wagon train in 1857, on which a late route change prevented their becoming victims of the Mountain Meadows massacre. The stories of her grandfather and the wagon train, the life of her father Judge Lafayette Jackson Maddux (1854-1941), and several other early San Joaquin Valley settlers are told in this interesting volume of California history. Includes a chapter describing her father's relations with Chinese immigrant Ma Chuey Wing and notes that he had many Chinese clients in Modesto.
