Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph article dated December 27, 1960 partially reads, "Remi Nadeau is a soft-spoken eagle. Like that majestic bird, he lives high on a peak overlooking the San Fernando Valley and is always prepared to attack. But Nadeau covers his attacking talons with the kid gloves of historical perspective. The Nadeau nest, feathered with the historical material for his four books on the Southern California past, is perched at 15470 Vista Haven Pl., looking down on Sherman Oaks. In his latest book, 'Los Angeles: From Mission to Modern City,' released early this month, Nadeau bared his talons to rip into 'boosterism' and the belief that Southern California must continue to draw thousands of new residents from out-of-state or dry up." Pictured is Valley author, Remi Nadeau holding his most recent book.
