Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative traces the origins of Paradise, California, beginning with Uncle Billy Leonard's discovery of its serene beauty over 150 years ago. Initially a mere stop for miners heading to gold country, the town evolved as disappointed prospectors turned to timber and sawmill work. The establishment of a railroad by the Diamond Match Company marked a significant development, and the area became known for its apple orchards and vibrant harvest festivals, which continue today as the Johnny Appleseed Days celebration.
