Publication: Redlands Daily Facts Article Title: Bookstore hosts history authors Author: Michelle E. Ramos Date: 10/30/08 REDLANDS - This Saturday is "Local History Day" at the Redlands Barnes & Noble bookstore in Citrus Plaza, with book signings and the chance to meet more than a dozen authors of local history books. The event will feature John Weeks, author of "Inland Empire" from Arcadia Publishing's Postcard History Series, Richard and Robin Hanks, co-authors of "The Harris Company," and other authors. Weeks' "Inland Empire" chronicles the history of the region in the form of 200 antique postcards that tell the story of the area's beginnings. As a young man, Weeks began collecting postcards 40 years ago when he first saw an image of a frozen Lake Arrowhead on a 1949 postcard. It was then that Weeks' passion for collecting postcards was born. As the features editor for the San Bernardino Sun and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Weeks is known as the "Emperor of the Inland Empire." "I fell in love with Arcadia Publishing's books, and by now there are 50 to 60 books on Inland Empire communities," Weeks said. "I frequently wrote about the books and kept collecting them and then somehow it finally clicked that I could put together a book with my collection of postcards," he said. Within the pages of "Inland Empire" are vintage postcards depicting Redlands in the early 20th century. Weeks' book reminds people of a time when the citrus industry dominated the area and sweetened the air with the essence of oranges. "We've plowed over our orange groves and let our air get nasty," Weeks said. "I think we need to appreciate the past. If we think more about preservation, it will help safeguard our future." Among the other authors at the book signing will be Richard and Robin Hanks, co-authors of "The Harris Company." The book tells the history of the Harris Company's presence throughout the Inland Empire. Although the book's third author, Aimmee L. Rodriguez, will not be able to attend, the Hankses are looking forward to Saturday's event. "Everywhere we go we hear stories form people who have worked for Harris' or have family who worked for the store. It has been very uplifting and I am looking forward to Saturday and meeting new people with a connection to this family and store," Robin Hanks said. "The response to the book has been gratifying. It is a great story about a great family who realized the American dream and helped others realize their dream. These outings are always so positive," Richard Hanks said. Barnes & Noble employees have been hard at work organizing the event and are just as excited as the authors. "We're very excited to bring together many authors and experts on local history. We wanted to create a local history event and highlight the diversity of the area and highlight some of the writers," said Jill Sweitzer of Barnes & Noble. Other authors include Steve Lech, "Resorts of Riverside County"; Frank Teurlay, "Riverside's Camp Anza and Arlanza"; and Steve Shaw, "San Bernardino." Information: "Local History Day - Meet All the Authors," from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday Nov. 1, at Barnes & Noble, Citrus Plaza Shopping Center, 27460 Lugonia Ave., Redlands, (909) 793-4322

Synopsis
Southern California's vast Inland Empire is one of the fastest growing regions of the United States. It is a wonderland of old-growth vineyards, citrus groves, hot-water resorts, Wild West landmarks, and Native American territories. America's fabled Mother Road, Route 66, runs right through it. Its fertile valleys are encircled by mountains with famous resort areas such as Idyllwild, Big Bear Lake, and Lake Arrowhead. Those mountains are surrounded in turn by some of the world's best-known desert resort and recreational areas, including Palm Springs, the Mojave, Death Valley, and Joshua Tree National Park. Inland Empire is the first book of its kind, offering a postcard-perfect grand tour of the entire region.
