The first Filipino settlers arrived in Stockton, California, around 1898, and through most of the 20th century, this city was home to the largest community of Filipinos outside the Philippines. Because countless Filipinos worked in, passed through, and settled here, it became the crossroads of Filipino America. Yet immigrants were greeted with signs that read "Positively No Filipinos Allowed" and were segregated to a four-block area centered on Lafayette and El Dorado Streets, which they called "Little Manila." In the 1970s, redevelopment and the Crosstown Freeway decimated the Little Manila neighborhood. Despite these barriers, Filipino Americans have created a vibrant ethnic community and a rich cultural legacy. Filipino immigrants and their descendants have shaped the history, culture, and economy of the San Joaquin Delta area.

reviewed Filipinos in Stockton, California (Images of America Series) on June 22, 2014 Filipinos in Stockton, California (Images of America Series)
Like many of these collections of photos from this fine publisher, it's a mixed bag, and I'm glad to have it.
This volume is heavy on the portrait photos of Atlanta residents, helpfully indexed with structures with which they worked. Photos of the city's defenses are quite moving. At end, there are photos of wreck and ruin.
I have several favorite images here. Across six pages (pages 10-15), there is a three-part panorama taken from the dome of the Atlanta Female Institute. The Crawford, Frazer & Co. slave market appears (page 100) in a photo by Barnard; recently, the AJC put it side-by-side with an image of modern Five Points MARTA station. These sort of before and after shots are outside the scope of this book, but so compelling.
Author Michael Rose uses Atlanta History Center archival collections to good effect, as usual.
I do recommend reading a narrative history to complement this stuff, for example, The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta, by Marc Wortman (here, )
Recommended.
