“Los Angeles has many faces, many dimensions, many roots. We stand on some of the most layered and interesting cultural foundations. J. Michael Walker focuses on one of the most important-the naming of streets, mountains, cities, and terrains for Catholic saints, a legacy of Spanish and Mexican rule."

“In company with 103 saints, we watch the small pueblo of Los Angeles unfold to become one of the major cities of the world. With sadness and joy, happiness and sorrow, success and failure, and yes, even life and death, Walker has given us poignant accounts of the geography of grace in the city he loves.”

of History at Loyola Marymount University
