Louis Rose, an Old-World immigrant, came to San Diego in 1850 and was one of the key figures who helped to shape the region. Recounting the promise, passions and prejudices of that era, the book shows how Rose helped transform San Diego from a nearly forgotten village to an emerging city. This comprehensive biography addresses not only the founding of Jewish institutions in San Diego, but how Rose helped to develop secular institutions as well―he began a long tradition of Jews being active in San Diego civic affairs. A thorough resource on San Diego’s early Jewish history, the book combines a compelling personal story with regional history to appeal to a general audience.
