Myths of the Golden State’s abundance enticed thousands of Americans uprooted by the Depression, but those who created those myths saw only invading criminal “hordes” that they believed just one man could stop: James “Two-Gun” Davis, Los Angeles’ authoritarian police chief. The Golden Fortress tells the story of Davis’s audacious deployment of hand-picked armed police slamming California’s door on America’s Dust Bowl refugees and Depression-displaced migrants.

Terrific - a forgotten chapter of CA history
Revisado: 10-04-22
Despite being born and raised in Southern California, I had never heard this audacious story about 1930s interstate migration. The author does a brilliant job of weaving together individual stories from the time with the overall narrative, in addition to drawing parallels with our current border crises.
If you like reading historical non-fiction, this is a great read (or listen!)
