Napa Valley HeyDay C.B. Turrell 1881. The Story: But grapevines and wineries do not tell the whole story, although, to be sure, wine had dominated the economy of Napa County ever since the Civil War. Napa Valley Heyday relates the entire story of Napa Valley's settlement up to 1900, beginning with a description of its dramatic geography and topography.... enriched with 43 photographs of Napa Valley in the 19th century by Charles B. Turrill (1854-1927), selected from the archives of The Society of California Pioneers. The images convey the region's original pastoral beauty; its architectural landmarks and celebrated stone bridges; its industries, wineries and resorts; and its waterways, stagecoaches, and early railroads. The photographs, reproduced in duotone, convey a parallel story of the Valley's gradual transformation. ...-from the Prospectus Richard Dillon San Francisco: Book Club of California, 2004 Profusely illustrated with photographs by Charles B.
