content: The Images of America Oroville, CA was a wonderful collection of photos of Oroville from its inception to the early 1900s. The author demonstrated his passion for history and the town of Oroville. While I do not know him personally, I have read other historical accounts by James Lenhoff and he has a wonderful passion for the history of the greater Oroville community. As a person born and raised in Oroville, a new fact for me was that President Hoover played a part in the history of the area. I highly recommend for persons interested in the area's history or history of the California Gold Rush. Many villages, towns and cities have a Images of America book about their town which gives a wealth of historical information.
