Book excerpt: This is a revised and enlarged version of A Troubled Oasis: A Critical History of Palm Springs. The key chapter on the tragedy of the Section Fourteen so-called "urban holocaust," when minorities were evicted from the center of the city in the 1960s, has been dramatically updated in light of a tranche of new, revelatory documents published online by city officials in the spring of 2023. However, all of the chapters have been enriched by greater detail, new subjects, and deeper research, making this new edition practically a new book. A critical perspective has been maintained, eschewing the boosterism of traditional municipal histories. This comprehensive study should appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the history of Palm Springs, from the prehistoric times of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to the present day.

It seeks to offer a sober and unvarnished account of the development of Palm Springs, sweeping nothing under the proverbial rug. It pays special attention to the tragedy of Section 14, when minorities were evicted from the city in the 50s and 60s, and it is one of the first books to devote a chapter to the gay and lesbian exodus to Palm Springs in the 1990s.. This book also highlights the unfair treatment of the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians until 1959 and their ascent to great wealth and power thereafter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled beneath the San Jacinto Mountains in an oasis of palm trees is a mineral hot springs. For thousands of years, this was the winter home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the original inhabitants of this harsh desert region. A U.S. government survey party discovered the spring in 1853 and identified the area located at the base of "two bunches of palms." In 1884, Judge John McCallum of San Francisco purchased land near the springs for $800 and built the first adobe structure, which still stands today. Stage lines and railroads provided transportation through the area, bringing in visitors year-round. Dr. Welwood Murray built the first Palm Springs Hotel, and in 1909, Nellie Coffman built The Desert Inn, which would become famous as a tourist attraction. This was the beginning of the area's major industry. Today Palm Springs is still a destination for visitors throughout the year and home to a growing population of permanent residents.
