Item description from seller

Arcadia Publishing, Published 2011. Paperback, 127 pp.; 24 cm; Images of America series; illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs. In Very Good condition. Sepia-toned pictorial covers with light bumping to edges and mild shelf wear. Binding tight. A few tiny spots to title, dedication and contents pages. Otherwise unmarked. [From back cover] Carved from the former Spanish land grant known as Rancho Los Feliz, Griffith Park, a rugged, 4,300-acre wilderness located in the heart of Los Angeles, has been the principal playground for Angelenos for over a century. Since 1896, when the land was donated to the city by controversial philanthropist Col. Griffith J. Griffith, generations of weekenders have picnicked, camped, golfed, ridden horses, hiked, bicycled, and played ball in the park. To this day, visitors still climb aboard its mini-train and merry-go-round and explore its zoo, museums, amphitheater, and world-famous observatory. The park, which lies in the shadow of the Hollywood sign, has been a frequent filming site for legendary movies like Back to the Future, Birth of a Nation, and Rebel Without a Cause. Photographs largely from Bison Archives, the entertainment-history collection Wanamaker founded in 1973. The Hollywood's Backlot chapter covers filming in Bronson Canyon and elsewhere in the park, from John Wayne serials of the 1930s and the Three Stooges through Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Something of Value with Sidney Poitier, AIP's teen pictures of the 1950s, and Star Trek VI. Contents: Acknowledgments; Introduction; The Colonel's Grand Gift; Los Angeles at Play; Hollywood's Backlot.…
