LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES
ancient picture on our cover and imagine, if
you can, how some eighty years before its
taking, the Governor of the Province of Cali-
fornia, a handful of church dignitaries bearing
banners, a squad of soldiers armed with flint-
locks, and eleven families of footsore, home-
sick paisanos hacked a little clearing in the
sagebrush, greasewood and cactus at that place
and called it "Queen of the Angels!" What
if they could see it now!
Not an inch of ground upon which falls the shadow of the
great white tower in the picture above but could tell a tale of
"LOS ANGELES IN THREE CENTURIES."
